I think we should allow 'year' to be "double" instead, and so it could also be +Inf or -Inf and we'd nicely cover the conversions from and to 'numeric' -- which is really used internally for dates and date-times in POSIXct. Martin
That would be perfect and tackles both consistency with other formats and the confusing print() output. I'm all for it. Cheers Joris
