This should address the remaining issues on #2

I'm not tied to ISO8601 as the date/time format. I just know of 2 date/time standards:

  1. Seconds since UNIX Epoch (Jan 1st 1970) - 1373134826 Pros: It's a nice simple integer and supported universally. Cons: It's an opaque number and provides no timezone information.
  2. ISO8601 - 2012-01-30T05:06:07Z Pros: It's human readable and has a well defined standard. Supports timezones. Cons: Ugh, timezones. Also there are some ambiguities like "T" or " " as the separator.
