it's not as though it's reinventing the wheel, those are fairly common
formats. they're even fairly similar to the holy RFC822
(except for time and date's granularity being oriented the same, which makes
more sense).

They have the advantage of cutting down on wasted bytes.
Language day and month names don't need to be provided, they can
be calculated on the client side (if the client cares, many probably won't eg;
bots). Similarly for zone-info.

IMHO

PS> Besides, RFC822 uses yy, big no-no. I suggested extensible yyyy

MOTD on Setting Orange, the 64th of Confusion, in the YOLD 3165:

The state of having nothing to do is wasted on those who can afford to.
