Time

Use RFC 3339 for dates and times, it is simpler than ISO 8601. However, it does not support durations.

There is a good article that I need to fine. I think the rules were:

• Be liberal in what you accept.
• Store time as UTC
• Store the symbolic time zone (i.e. "Europe/London") if you need to know about daylight savings for further calculations.
• Return time in UTC, and let the presentation layer convert it to the user's local time.
