Ballot Text

Technical Summary
   This document describes the "date" and "index" extensions to the
   Sieve email filtering language.  The "date" extension gives Sieve the
   ability to test date and time values in various ways.  The "index"
   extension provides a means to limit header and address tests to
   specific instances of header fields when header fields are repeated.

RFC Editor Note

OLD:
"year", "month", "day", "date", "hour", "minute", "second" and
                        ^^^^^^^
"weekday" all use fixed-width string representations of integers,  and
can therefore be compared with "i;octet", "i;ascii-casemap", and
"i;ascii-numeric" with equivalent results.

NEW:
"year", "month", "day", "hour", "minute", "second" and
"weekday" all use fixed-width string representations of integers,  and
can therefore be compared with "i;octet", "i;ascii-casemap", and
"i;ascii-numeric" with equivalent results.
"date" also uses fixed-width string representations of integers,  and
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
can therefore be compared with "i;octet", "i;ascii-casemap", however
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"i;ascii-numeric" can't be used with it, as "i;ascii-numeric" doesn't
allow
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
for non digit characters.
