	Date and Time Formats
		ISO 8601 describes a large number of date/time formats.
		The aim is to simplify the use of ISO 8601 in World Wide Web-related standards, and to avoid the need for the developers and users of these standards to obtain copies of ISO 8601 itself.
		A particular problem with ISO 8601 is that it allows the century to be omitted from years, which is likely to cause trouble as we approach the year 2000.

		The first edition of the ISO 8601 standard was published in 1988 and unified and replaced a number of older ISO standards on various aspects of date and time notation: ISO 2014, 2015, 2711, 3307 and 4031.
		ISO 2014 was the standard that originally introduced the big-endian all-numeric date notation YYYY-MM-DD, the ISO week numbering system was introduced in ISO 2015 and the identification of days by ordinal dates was originally defined in ISO 2711.
		ISO 8601 prescribes a four-digit year to avoid the year 2000 problem.

	International standard date and time notation
		ISO 8601 is only specifying numeric notations and does not cover dates and times where words are used in the representation.

		ISO 8601 has been adopted as European Standard EN 28601 and is therefore now a valid standard in all EU countries and all conflicting national standards have been changed accordingly.

	Info on ISO 8601, the date and time representation standard
		ISO in 1988, updated in 2000, again in 2004, defines a large number of alternative representation of dates, times, and time intervals.
		According to ISO 8601, a notation like 2000-02 uniquely means the second month of year 2000, so it is risky to use it, or any similar notation, to denote years from 2000 to 2002.
		The ISO 8601 standard does not specify whether a date or time (or date and time) designation refers to a singular point in time or a time period.

		Dates and times in ISO 8601 formats are understandable everywhere, without ambiguity; and they can be sorted correctly as strings.
