ISO 8601 is not allowed by RFC 822. RFC 822 discourage the transmission
of all 8 bits either. RFC 822 has such a few signs of obsolescence.
A great number of sites are nevertheless transmitting 8-bit mail. I think
RFC's are there to help trigger progress, and they usually do at the time
they are written. But it comes a time where some RFC's are inhibiting
progress, and when that time comes, we should stay able to move forward.
I give reason to those using 8bit channels for transmitting mail (the
EHLO protocol is fine) despite what RFC 822 may say. I hope the same
will happen for dates. Let's be more progressive than submissive! :-)
