Issue: When does Time start?

This page is part of the web mail archives of SRFI 19 from before July 7th, 2015. The new archives for SRFI 19 contain all messages, not just those from before July 7th, 2015.



Does anyone see any reason to specify, as part of the SRFI, when 'time'
starts? Marc Feely didn't like 1/1/1900 for a starting point (prefers
1/1/1970), for example. The starting point clearly effects the
implementation, or vice versa, and I'd rather give this one to the
implementers.

I'm leaning towards just leaving this part all together for 'universal
time' and 'Julian day number'.
