btw currently syslog does not print year so even if
at a later point one tries to parse the date and
display it in local time it will be hard to do so

imo the standard timestamp format is '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
(maybe with T instead of space, but that's less readable)
it is a bit longer than the current one, but at least
clear, not nl_langinfo dependent (in case someone adds
LC_TIME support for other languages) and reversible

(the real iso8601/rfc3339 standard is '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')
