A short, blunt, human pyramid? From: Paul Jarc Invent Yourself writes: > I forget which ISO date format we standardized on. There's only one that I know of (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss), and it wasn't well received. If you want to say "10:00", lojban's tail-end eliding forces you to specify the whole date along with it. Maybe we could specify the units of the first number, and then let successive numbers give the values of smaller and smaller units. E.g., "10:00" would be " 10:00", "May 4th" would be " 05-04", etc. Then a fully specified time & date would look like " 2000-05-04 17:45:42". (Actually, for it to be considered a single entity according to the ISO standard, I think it has to have a `T' instead of a space.) co'o mi'e pol
