Lack of ISO 8601 dates and times



There are too many date and time notations used on the Debian Web site,
especially the main page. Toward the beginning of
<http://www.debian.org/>, the "April 13th, 2004" format is used. Further
down, the "13 Apr 2004" format is used repeatedly. The "Tue, Apr 13
00:30:00 UTC 2004" format is at the very bottom.

I suggest using *only* ISO 8601 style dates and times onward from this
point. The first two formats would become "2004-04-13." The third would
become "2004-04-13 00:30:00 +00:00" or similar. (This format seems most
legible to me; other variants are available.)
