I am thinking of standardizing the syntax for dates, times, and durations used
by the applications in the next releases, based on
http://www.w3schools.com/xml/schema_dtypes_date.asp (with the extension that
lowercase letters can also be used).
Objects that need dates (x509 etc) will have a standard -start flag. It takes
an ISO date-time, the time defaulting to 00:00. A time and duration can be
specified by putting /duration after the start date. Or the abosolute time can
be specified with an -end flag. For example
-start 2017-02-10/p30d
-start 2017-02-10 -end 2017-03-12
Both mean the same thing, from Feb 10 for 30 days.
