I originally commented on some of the difficulties in time in URLs, such as periods, etc. I suggested that there was no general solution to this, and rather than trying to provide a solution you simply flag the need to apply the QA guidelines sensibly and flag areas of difficulty. The current proposed tip seeks to provide examples which I don't think are scalable and universal. For example /2004/w12/6/ is clearly English language specific. Also dates and periods don't always start from 1 Jan. For example in (UK) Universities week 10 may be in Decemeber, as the start of the academic year begins in September of October. There is a danger that people may treat a document on the W3C Web site as providing authoritative information on time strings in URIs.
