>Thanks for clearing that up. I won't be changing if its a standard. I asked only because I've received some "XML" that had dates using the 30/05/1970 format. I guess the latter isn't "real XML" then.
Well, using XML schema, you can define your own data type. You can check the XML file that you received and check it's schema and see how the data type for 30/05/1970 is define.
There is a greate place to learn more about XML Schema:
