Remarks

“Shortcomings of OPML… The RFC 822 date format is considered obsolete, and amongst other things permits the representation of years as two digits. (RFC 822 has been superseded by RFC 2822.) In general, date and time formats should be represented according to RFC 3339.” http://www.answers.com/topic/opml
