[uf-dev] The correct format of a ISO date

[Glenn Jones]

I think I now have a handle on this date stuff. Thanks for everyone's
comments. I have to say that the documentation clarity for using dates
and times in Microformats is not good at the moment. Pointing people at
ISO 8601 is not a good idea. 

Toby's point about specifying a the profile for each usage in the wiki
is important. Maybe all the language on the wiki should be about the
profiles. Also changing it over to examples and use cases rather than
point people at dry specs? 

There are a couple of smaller points I still outstanding like
Specifying RFC 3339 plus 'T' and 'Z' MUST be caps has been suggested in
the past, but then it's not RFC 3339
  

So here my new take
