Re: [PATCH v12 5/6] Documentation to the above changes (bug 10871).


I have received a comment from Gnulib maintainers that this
documentation is too ambiguous because does not define which
date format should be considered "full" and which should be
considered "month standalone".  I have explained that the date
is "full" if there is a day number and a month name (the week
day and the year number are optional) and the month name is
"standalone" when there is no day number (it may be just the
month name alone, or if a year number is added this still counts
as standalone).  It has been requested to add this definition
to the glibc documentation.

But, OTOH, I can't guarantee this works the same in all languages
which have this issue.  Maybe we should add a phrase "in many
languages" or "in most of the languages which need this feature"?

Any suggestions how to fix the documentation?  Does anybody want
to commit immediately?

Regards,

Rafal
