...but I can't seem to find anything in the API that handles ISO 8601
dates.
Oh, but correct ISO 8610 date formats can look so different. There are
a plethora of valid variants.
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.
Nope, it's not. Depends on who you're talking to. The standard
(apparently) makes quite clear that, for example, using the letter 'T'
to separate date and time information is optional, depending on mutual
agreement between the parts exchanging date strings.
If I do need to do this myself, does anybody have advice on heuristics
when confronted with lots of dates in lots of formats?
Considering the diversity of date formats (ISO 8610, W3C's ISO 8610
profile, rfc822, et-cetera) you'll have to take care of this yourself.
But what's wrong with the date formatting strings? Why can't you use
them? I had the impression you could create whatever format string you
like.
