Changing slashes to number signs makes some sense, but it I'd prefer having
a representation similar to the print. What's the British date format in a
computer braille context?
And while I'm thinking of it, I've read telephone numbers using dots as well
as dashes for separators. i.e.724.765.3210 or 800-555-8355 so maybe there
needs to be a phone number style as well.

Hi Terri,
I don't know about American Braille, but in British rules a date such as
04/04/03 or 04-04-03 is written without the separating slash or dash.
However a number sign is placed there instead.
I can however see the logic in developing a "date" Style, but if it was
done, Duxbury would normally insist that it follow the precise rules of
braille.
However, you've raised a valid point, so I'm copying this to the
relevant rule King at Duxbury for comment.
All the best,
George.
