[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

The info node (elisp) Time Parsing suggests that the string
"1998-09-12T12:21:54-0200" should be of a format that `parse-time-string`
can successfully parse. However, trying to do so produces no useful info
from parsing (it returns a list of NILs).

[Message part 6 (text/plain, inline)]

Thanks for the bug report. I fixed the code so that it matches the 
documentation by installing the attached patches into Emacs master. The 
first patch is the fix, the second is merely refactoring.
