In the spec for format-date(), we should make it clear that the [Y] component
refers to the absolute value of the year; in the case of negative years, the
fact that the year is negative must be conveyed through the [E] (era)
component.

We should also make it clear that if the calendar is "ISO", the two values of
"era" are "-" and "" representing negative and positive years respectively.
