Hence the name of the page: *datetime*-design-pattern.  The scope of the
page is named as such on purpose.

It is?  From where?

David, please re-read what I wrote.  I'm not talking about reinventing
ISO8601.  I'm talking about the wiki page reinventing a *profile* of
ISO8601.  W3C-NOTE-DATETIME, RFC3339 are existing profiles that should first
be reused unless there are good reasons provided to go beyond them, and in
that case, hopefully only the changes can be documented.

I'll try to edit the page to show what I'm talking about.

Thanks,

Tantek
