That format is a variant of the ISO standard... technically date elements 
should be separated by hyphen, time elemets by colons, and a "T" separating 
the date and time parts.

Read all about it in ISO 8601:2000 (final draft at 
http://xml.coverpages.org/ISO-FDIS-8601.pdf)
or read the W3s document http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime.

I always wondered why CVS[NT] never used the ISO8601 format... seems crazy not 
to use a standard. Tony, how about having an option to return dates in this 
format?

Exactly so.
