I don't agree.  In the case of fields that are user searchable it would 
be impossible to convert a substring search query into a matching 
timecode value.  You'd have to return all the images in Ansel and then 
convert the timestamps before doing the search.

But I do see your point about the different formats.  If it's consistent 
then you don't have to worry about what field you are looking at and 
what the format of it is.

I found that, but is there a list of the valid markup allowed in that 
file anywhere?  I want to either put in a list or a table, but <ul> 
doesn't work.
