Hello,

I am trying to read date strings from various documents using NSDate. The dateWithNaturalLanguageString is very handy, but I can't seem to find anything in the API that handles ISO 8601 dates. The best I can get from this: 2004-12-13T09:54:32-05:00 is this: 2004-12-13 05:00:32 +0000 which is clearly wrong. It seems odd that I can easily parse dates like "last tuesday' but can't parse a date in an ISO format. So before I go off to subclass hell I thought I would check to make sure I am not missing anything obvious.

If I do need to do this myself, does anybody have advice on heuristics when confronted with lots of dates in lots of formats?

Thanks
