time and date
I found this useful reference on the web:
http://www.ft.uni-erlangen.de/~mskuhn/iso-time.html
I suggest following ISO 8601:1988 and adding optional,
arbitrary-precision decimal seconds, e.g.
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss{.s+}
This is standard, widely understood and flexible.
I question the wisdom of limiting the range of the spec
merely in order to prevent people from allowing their
precision to exceed their accuracy.
