Todd Blanchard has done ISO8601 format support for Squeak. This is in the
TimeZoneDBWithTimeStamp on Squeak Map (the TimeZoneDatabase package is also
available separately; that is the time zone database without Todd's Squeak
enhancements, not Squeak-specific).

Brent Pinkney has done the ANSI date and time support for Squeak. This is in
the Chronology package on Squeak Map.

Umm, yes, I know, this stuff all needs to be reviewed and integrated.
