Well, the MediaWiki timestamp string ("19850412101530") is very
similar to the "basic" ISO8601 format ("19850412T101530Z"), the
difference being the use of T as a separator and the Z at the end to
indicate GMT.
I guess I'm a little confused why someone would find "19850412101530" to
be "fairly readable" while also finding "19850412T101530Z" to be "not
very readable".
