+# Internationalization specifications
+
+DATES, TIMES, CURRENCY, (RTL?)
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+    - Client does *ALL* internationalization display locally, only exception is the server ops logs
+        - This saves bandwidth and hassle and leaves presentation to the client where it belongs (was a source of trouble in v7)            
+    - User options contain the date, timezone and currency format for presentation purposes
+    - API data is in as neutral a format as possible, i.e. ISO whatever it is for dates and times, currency is just a number? (not going multicurrency?)
+
+    CALENDARS
+    - Only the Gregorian calendar is supported
