ISO 8601:1988 available in PDF form

[Peter Ilieve]

Last Friday Sun made the source code for Star Office available from
http://www.openoffice.org. What has this got to do with the timezone
list you might ask. Well, one of the projects is to produce an XML
based file format for use by Open Office (http://xml.openoffice.org).
The Related Documentation section of the draft spec
(http://xml.openoffice.org/xml_spec_draft.pdf) gives a URL for
ISO 8601: http://www.iso.ch/markete/8601.pdf.

Sure enough, the PDF file is there, available for anyone to download
for free.

(I hadn't seen this mentioned here before, but a quick check of Markus
 Kuhn's date and time page at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html
 shows that he has a link to this PDF file so he has obviously already
 spotted this.)
