Regarding some RISKS postings that bear not so standard Dates, causing some browsing systems to read them as Jan 1 1970, etc.,

Well, we could pump all dates thru the very tolerant date --rfc-2822 -f to standardize them, but that would lose the colorful original timezone flavor. We could write a regexp to see if they match RFC 2822, etc. A web search shows some "date validator" matches... I know, let's forget the issue, but suggest to (CC'd) coreutils that they add a date --validate or --check functionality, like sort --check. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
