The reverse order is equally grammatical and just as easy to understand. It is also unambiguous, because the 4 digits of the year make it clear which part is the year. So: {li 2000;05;07} can be nothing but May 7th of this year, same as {li ;05;07} and {li ;;07}. (I would assume that elisions default to current.) Similarly {li 07;05;2000}, {li 07;05;} and {li 07;;}. Since there is no possible confusion, there doesn't seem to be any need to exclude either one as a possibility. co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You have a voice mail message waiting for you at iHello.com: http://click.egroups.com/1/3555/3/_/17627/_/957648239/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, send mail to lojban-unsubscribe@onelist.com
