Removal of the dateCompatibility attribute

[Chris Rae]

Hi all - I'm working through writing the text of the combined date-related modifications in the hope that I'll have something we can review in Helsinki. A question came up, related to Denmark's DR 10-0001, the removal of the leap-year bug from strict. Alex/Jesper, I'd be particularly interested in your thoughts here.

If we remove the dateCompatibility attribute from Strict (thereby preventing the leap year bug existing), would it also make sense to remove the dateCompatibility attribute from transitional, thereby preventing the leap year bug from NOT existing? I can see arguments both for and against, so I thought I'd put it to the WG4 test.

Any thoughts appreciated,

Chris
