Description
Please use ISO-8601, except with "_" instead of "T" for the separating character for all timestamps. Please include the ISO-8601 unambiguous timezone indicator (which is either "Z" or a number of hours offset from UTC).
Here is Markus Kuhn's advocacy and summary of ISO-8601:

Here is the related discussion from the Tahoe trac:
http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/326 # use consistent time stamps in logging
Here are some Python implementations of ISO and/or UTC timestamps:

This ticket is the more urgent, less controversial subset of #90 (timestamps: formatting and timezones).
