New date and time draft

[Chris Newman]

Given that my office already purchased ISO 8601:1988 a few years ago, I 
certainly couldn't justify the cost of purchasing a revision in current 
tight economic times.  If there's a public list of errata (or a free 
revision available to people who purchased the previous version), I'd be 
glad to vet the spec against that.  Or perhaps if Graham feels like 
purchasing a copy and vetting the ABNF he could.  Otherwise I believe we 
should keep the reference to the older version since that's what this spec 
is based on.
