$Id$ Created on 26/06/2005 Base class for all representations of time values in RFC2445.

 4.3.4 Date
 
    Value Name: DATE
 
    Purpose: This value type is used to identify values that contain a
    calendar date.
 
    Formal Definition: The value type is defined by the following
    notation:
 
      date               = date-value
 
      date-value         = date-fullyear date-month date-mday
      date-fullyear      = 4DIGIT
      date-month         = 2DIGIT        ;01-12
      date-mday          = 2DIGIT        ;01-28, 01-29, 01-30, 01-31
                                         ;based on month/year
 
    Description: If the property permits, multiple "date" values are
    specified as a COMMA character (US-ASCII decimal 44) separated list
    of values. The format for the value type is expressed as the [ISO
    8601] complete representation, basic format for a calendar date. The
    textual format specifies a four-digit year, two-digit month, and
    two-digit day of the month. There are no separator characters between
    the year, month and day component text.
 
    No additional content value encoding (i.e., BACKSLASH character
    encoding) is defined for this value type.
 
    Example: The following represents July 14, 1997:
 
      19970714
