I think we could extend the library to handle those forms -- if they
aren't ambiguous.  (I seem to vaguely remember that there were some
forms that were ambiguous when shortened, but I don't remember the
details.)

Do you have a pointer to the 2000 version of the ISO8601 standard?  I
could have a peek.
