Re: [calsify] [External] : [Technical Errata Reported] RFC5545 (7332)

[Bernard Desruisseaux <[e-mail]>]

Dear RFC Editor,

I've just noticed that Errata 7332 doesn't specify the Corrected Text that I had proposed and was agreed by Eliot Lear and Tobias Subklewe (reporter).

https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5545&eid=7332


Correct Text:

      The period starting at 18:00:00 UTC, on January 1, 1997 and lasting 5
      hours and 30 minutes would be:

       19970101T180000Z/PT5H30M


Thanks,
Bernard

Yeah,

this will work. Though I think it would be nice to have two differing datetime examples. I'm fine either way.

The grammar issue is a nice catch. Did not see that.

Thanks Tobias!

The issue was also present in RFC2445.


  *   https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2445#section-4.3.9<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2445*section-4.3.9__;Iw!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!NnpEFnJVegpo2sx4ecXTCP5_qy1qWtlUrbzcHb5Nkx_oegMiOQc3O1-4ng87YTv5KT0sCMOHvThE2cK0lhz6JXVKUIY$>

I would add UTC in the text rather than removing the 'Z' in the example, and fix the grammar as well!

Correct Text:

      The period starting at 18:00:00 UTC, on January 1, 1997 and lasting 5
      hours and 30 minutes would be:

Reported by: Tobias Subklewe <[e-mail]<mailto:[e-mail]>>

Section: 3.3.9

Original Text
-------------
The period start at 18:00:00 on January 1, 1997 and lasting 5
hours and 30 minutes would be:

19970101T180000Z/PT5H30M

Corrected Text
--------------
The period start at 18:00:00 on January 1, 1997 and lasting 5
hours and 30 minutes would be:

19970101T180000/PT5H30M

Notes
-----
I do not know if this is an editorial or technical issue.

If I understand the datetime value (Section 3.3.5) correct the last character should only be "Z" if the value is in UTC.

In the first example in section 3.3.9 UTC is explicitely mentioned but not in the second example.

This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
