Subject: [Ietf-calsify] xCal - resubmitted.
Message-ID: <[e-mail]>



The xCal draft has been rewritten and submitted to the IETF.

I have an XSLT translation file that I will be releasing
soon on SourceForge that can translate an xCal object
back to an iCal object. I am waiting for SourceForge
to approve the project name.

Discussion takes place on [e-mail]

It may not be so easy for IANA to register timezones.  As was pointed out  
to us in the CALSIFY meeting, timezones are defined by political processes  
and that's not an easy thing for IETF or IANA to get a handle on.  Should  
the IANA accept a new timezone registration by the King of San Francisco  
on behalf of all of the San Francisco area?  How would IANA verify a  
timezone registration from Malheur county, Oregon?  If the government of  
Canada does not bother registering its timezones directly with IANA, then  
who is qualified to do so on its behalf?

I know little about how to solve these problems, but I notice that the  
LTRU draft  
(http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ltru-registry-10.txt)  
mentions special ISO advisory committees.

No, of course not. Every San Franciscan knows you should only accept edicts 
from descendants of Emperor Norton: http://www.sfmuseum.org/hist1/norton.html

All kidding aside, though - don't most countries have the equivalent of our 
National Institute of Standards and Technology? An RFC which described 
timezones and their registration, it seems to me, could also designate what 
the official source is for such information, or could at least state that 
each national government should designate an official source. I realize 
that the zones are often set by smaller governmental entities such as 
states, but there's almost always some national body which keeps track of them.
