The function parse-time-string cannot parse ISO 8601 time string, e.g.,
2005-04-07T22:13:13, which is pretty ubiquitous nowadays.
(parse-time-string 2005-04-07T22:13:13) returns a list full of nils.

Does any of date-to-time, parse-iso8601-time-string, or timezone-parse-date fit the bill?

Clément.

Hi Hong, parse-iso8601-time-string exists and can be used to parse ISO
8601 time strings.  It falls back to RFC 2822 style strings if that
fails.  It would be nice if parse-time-string handled 8601 formt, but
this has implications for current users.  I'll tag this bug a 'wishlist'
in case others have opinions.
