Internet Profile for ISO 8601

[Markus G. Kuhn]

You might be interested in reviewing the new Internet draft standard

  ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-newman-datetime-00.txt

which describes the future recommended Internet date and time notation
for new applications.  This standard describes a subset of ISO 8601 and
recommended usage practice. For more information about ISO 8601, see also 

  http://www.ft.uni-erlangen.de/~mskuhn/iso-time.html

The draft-newman-datetime-00.txt is still an early draft and could require
some input from the date and time experts here.

In addition, I also wanted to mention that all ITU-R TF Recommendations
can now be ordered on-line from

  http://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-r/rec/tf.html

This includes for instance ITU-R TF.460-4, the standard that defines UTC.
