So far three things have been found missing and/or wrong with FTS-0001.016.

1) Section B, Missing any kind of "digit" variable, defining a single number,
0-9.

2) Section B, "seconds" variable does not allow for a leap second, which may
not be a problem if nothing else allows for it, but it seems the original
author of FSP-1040 (which originally reference ABNF) took that into account
using zeroToSixty.

3) Section F, The month variable is set to 0-11, and not 1-12. There is no
month 0, and would never be used that way. January is month #1, December is
month #12.

If everyone wants me to fully reference FTS-0001, and not ABNF, those three (so
far, and just for this specific part of the proposal that seems to have issues
with a few here) things would need to be resolved.

Regards,
Nick
