Hi, just a little addition to the taste display: 12.34 looks fine.
12:34 looks fine, but more technical. 12.34.56 looks like some
foreign date notation. 12:34:56 looks like a time with seconds.
So I prefer "." without seconds, and ":" with seconds. But that
propably means I'm inconsistent.

I agree a lot. ISO 8601 is very much what we use in Sweden. What I'm
saying is that the separator in times is one of the few exceptions,
where we norma

You know what they say about standards: The nice thing about standards
is that there are so many of them to choose from.

I think SIS - Sewdish Institute for Standardisation is also a preferable
source for Swedish Language, and especially when it comes to computers.
SIS has made a recommendation to use either 12:34:56 or 12.34.56
as the time format, and mentions 12:34:56 first. This is a description

Ok, this is confusing. Should the lovale use the technical format
12:34 or the language format 12.34? I suggest staying with the 12.34
format, but I still think 12.34.56 is a silly time format-but that's
just my taste.
