dates and times are problematic in OSM right now; the date/time format for
access conditions is a mess. i suggest we should adapt something 
standard like
ISO format or a subset thereof. historically, time zones are fairly 
modern so we
need to think about that issue.

some of the military mapping i want to do will require hours and (rough) 
minutes.
