[I corrected the ISO 8691 format in the above quote.]
It's only a matter of replacing the slashes (`/') with dashes (`-'), so
that change should be pretty straightforward too.

Got me here. I tend to avoid RCS keywords as much as possible. I know
that they are useful via the `ident' command, but that is supposed to be
human readable, I think. Even if it is intended to be machine readable,
I would say standards would be better. What do other people think?

Granted, but the compatibility flag could be attached to lots of
commands. Hrm. I think that when I wrote stable/feature up somewhere,
I proposed that deprecated features be deprecated for an entire stable
release regardless. I don't recall where. My memory just got it
confused this pass.
Regardless, when we're just talking about rewriting scripts using CVS
output to parse _more standard_ dates, I personally don't consider the
change drastic or the effects catastrophic. In the long run it would
certainly be a good thing.

By all means, look. :) What I've heard so far sounds pretty good.
