As Martin said, given the current text of the standard, the behavior of 
v3 cannot be considered, strictly speaking, a bug and officially 
resolving first a specific DR seems the best thing to do. That said, I 
agree of course with Martin that, from a consistency point of view at 
least, ignoring iostate is the best thing to do in get_date & co. I will 
change our implementation to do that.

Thanks,
Paolo.
