What is "the ABNF notation of the format that messages SHOULD use?" I see that
ABNF notation is mentioned here:

http://www.odata.org/documentation/odata-version-3-0/abnf/

..and is defined like so:

zeroToSixty = [ "0" ] oneToNine /
( "1" / "2" / "3" / "4" / "5" ) DIGIT /
"60"

This is also mentioned in the bibliography later on in the document, albeit
maybe not the same link I posted above. That seems to include 60 and has a
couple RFC's to back it up.

 WV> message with that date/time stamp! (Without cheating of course! ;))

I'm no programmer, but maybe that's exactly what it's defined for, in the very
rare case that it would need to be used?

Regards,
Nick
