Date/time on the Internet

[Apologies for cross-posting]

I'm trying to locate, or failing that establish, a sensible place to discuss 
issues around date/time on the Internet.  There seems to be consensus around 
a movement towards some profile or quasi-profile of ISO 8601, but different 
communities are taking different approaches and this may cause trouble later.

PICS appears to be using a quasi-profile of ISO 8601, by which I mean a 
non-conforming profile.  Note that I have no view either way on this, but am 
stating it for the sake of clarity.

Chris Newman, in "Date and Time on the Internet" (draft-newman-datetime-01.txt) 
is defining a conforming profile of ISO 8601.

If you can suggest an appropriate mailing list and provide joining instructions, 
please do so.
