Note also that you may skip the seconds (they're assumed
to be '00' then) and you may use a time shift, with the format

    YYYYmmddHHMM[SS]{Z|{+|-}HHMM}

where +/- refers to the shift with respect to UTC.

I wonder if the syntax could be extended to support lesser
resolutions without any ambiguity ... say:

    YYYY[mm[dd[HH[MM[SS]]]]][{Z|{+|-}HH[MM]}]

Tis wouldn't be a violation of the syntax, because the original
one would be still supported, only validation would be more
liberal.
