Some explanation of rationale would help the guide immensely, especially on short stub pages.
> but why ISO8601
The guide's recommendation should be tightened to RFC 3339 instead [1], to exclude less common formats like week-day and day-of-year that are defined in ISO 8601.
The two biggest advantages of the advocated format are:
- no redundant information, like day-of-week, which may cause trouble if the redundant fields are in conflict
- big endian throughout, therefore ASCIIbetically sortable for chronologic ordering
