I am confused about the Task.recurrence_pattern format used as an example in the current (2007-04-22) documentation (http://desktop.google.com/dev/indexapi.html [Index API Developer Guide] => [Google.Desktop.Task inherits Google.Desktop.Indexable] => [recurrence_pattern]):

""" A string describing how this task repeats. The format is a list of ISO 8601 intervals, separated by semicolons (e.g. 06-22-2005 11:00:00 / 06-22-2005 12:00:00; 06-24-2005 13:00:00 / 06-24-2005 15:00:00). """

IMHO, the dates in the Task.recurrence_pattern are not ISO 8601 formatted:

Google "ISO 8601" Real ISO 8601 ------------------- ------------------- 06-22-2005 11:00:00 2005-06-22T11:00:00 06-22-2005 12:00:00 2005-06-22T12:00:00 06-24-2005 13:00:00 2005-06-24T13:00:00 06-24-2005 15:00:00 2005-06-24T15:00:00

According to ISO 8601, in the previous case the use of the character [T] may be omitted.

From ISO 8601:

""" 5.2 Dates For ease of comparison, in all the following examples of representations of dates, the date of 12 April 1985 is used as an illustration, as applicable.

[...]

5.4.1 Complete representation

The components of an instant time shall be written in the following sequence:

a) For calendar dates:

year - month - day - time designator - hour - minute - second

[...]

a) Basic format: CCYYMMDDThhmmss [...] Examples: 19850412T101530 [...] Extended format: CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss [...] Examples: 1985-04-12T10:30 """
