Thanks for the pointer to MarkdownMacro, I'll take a close look at that.  I'm still trying to grok the plugin architecture and the Trac code in general so it may take a bit.

I'm not sure I understand your suggestion of using a plugin for modifying the ISO datetime format.  That would require some existing extension points in the datetime module wouldn't it?  I don't think I saw anything that looked like that.  For now I made a hack in the datetime module to modify the ISO format output which seems work ok but it's quite possible I'll discover down the line that I broke something else so it would be nice to find a way that's more "approved".
