Then why is the "dayOfMonth" variable 1-31? You cannot have it both ways. Stephen's original draft had a zeroToSixty variable, that was used for both minutes as well as seconds. Obviously not all of those numbers would have been used in the minutes variable, but they were there for the using, regardless.
If the "month" variable is going to use 0-11, then "dayOfMonth" should use 0-30 to keep form with everything else listed there. But since there is no 0th day of the month, or no 0th month of the year.. I think it should go that way instead. The definitions are currently contradicting each other, whereas Stephen's ABNF reference did not.
