Well that was always my intention. I plan to allow the caller to
specify what exact rules to use since the spec basically allows very
little unless the parties agree.
However, I think that the default format (if nothing was specified)
should allow for parsing of common ISO8601 formats.
This need not be settled yet, I will try to get the module out so
people can better see what I have in mind and critique "working" code.
