Subject: Re: [PATCH] Clarify that REST is not supported on the start TIME in a time-range timestamp.
Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2023 19:43:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e8a88c0b-79d3-4baa-ab12-642def56273d@app.fastmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cad27389-f885-4da0-87f4-f68bfb42148e@app.fastmail.com>

Potentially related, org-mode is accepting this malformed timestamp from[1]:
```
<2016-02-14 Sun ++y>
```

The org-mode documentation[2] only includes REST with TIME, defining TIME as "H:MMREST". The above does not have any TIME but it accepts the timestamp anyway:
```
(timestamp
  :type active
  :range-type nil
  :raw-value "<2016-02-14 Sun ++y>"
  :year-start 2016
  :month-start 2
  :day-start 14
  :hour-start nil
  :minute-start nil
  :year-end 2016
  :month-end 2
  :day-end 14
  :hour-end nil
  :minute-end nil
)
```

Perhaps that grammar is wrong and REST needs to be separated from TIME?
