ISO 8601 specifies how to treat it.

oooo, an ISO number. I must make a note of it and read up at some point
when my brain isn't fried.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, especially with a fried brain.

While I did not consider ISO 8601:2000 to be perfect, and have not so
far seen ISO 8601:2004, I find it pretty straightforward except for the
interpretation of stated durations.


Yep, that'll be why I've not read it yet. There's still a thin stream of
smoke exiting from both lugholes. Mind you, there's nothing much in there,
so what's there much be extremely hot ;-)
