I'm also a fan of ISO 8601, which has similarities to that 
above format
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
(well, we may only want to use a subset of ISO 8601's formats.)

It did remind me since it has optional time zone info, that 
time zones exist :-) ... does GRUB have any idea what the 
local timezone is, or will it have to require the time-zone 
part?  What about whether the hardware clock is UTC or 
local-time?
