I remember seeing one in "Rebol for Dummies" -- I can't confirm that though:
my copy left me for another dummy.

Though the future is looking increasingly ISO-8601.
** it's more accurate (unix time doesn't cater for leap seconds, so is
starting to drift);
** more human friendly (though not perfect);
** likely to become the standard in Internet protocols -- see rfc3339
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3339.txt
** almost, but not quite Rebol compatible. Carl --we need an ISO refinement
on Date! and Time!
What is ISO 8601? UTC format -- Pretty much common sense for a
language-independant date and time format,

Drop the punctuation and possibly the UTC offset but keep the leading zeroes
to make a timestamp:
