That would be appropriate to add to the last-modified-formats page as at
least something that is related:

 http://microformats.org/wiki/last-modified-formats

Robert, at this point you've certainly got a lot of research done, and since
this is such a basic (elemental even) microformat, it looks like all there
is left to do is to pick the format (perhaps ISO8601, perhaps RFC3339), pick
a name for the property (perhaps do some more analysis of which names of the
equivalent meaning from those previous last-modified-formats is in greatest
use on the Web), and write up example markup (perhaps using the
datetime-design-pattern).

Looking forward to the brainstorming page.

Thanks,
