Datetime to comply with RFC 6350?

[benoliver999]

This has recently come up because the python-vobject guys just changed their date formatting to the ISO 8601:2004 standard as mentioned in 4.3.2 - Basic format

This resembles this:

19850412T101530Z

I went to moan at them but then saw that in RFC 6350 section 4.3 it says "Only the basic format is supported" - so actually that change is correct.

I think the datetime (at least for REV) looks like this: 2018-07-17T13:09:54Z for ez-vcard. I may be way off the mark... I used davdroid to test.

It depends which vCard standard you are using.

• Version 3.0 (RFC 2426) uses "extended" format (e.g. 2018-07-17T13:09:54Z).
• Version 4.0 (RFC 6350) uses "basic" format (e.g. 20180717T130954Z).
