w3cdate <= (is a subset of) iso8601.

Anyway, xmlrpc protocol will die if we put the Z at the end. At the time
of writing, I tested the w3cdate variable with a lot of software on the
net, and the form: %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ is the most compatible with all of
the software out there. Another reason for the 'Z' is the fact that I
cannot get the proper time offset from the stock python libraries (which
is based on the unix time library). I can always substitute 'Z' with
+00:00, but that wouldn't be ethical :) You can learn more about the
w3cdate a.k.a. iso8601 on http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/iso8601.html
which outlines all the possibilities of the format.
