DateTime

[dennis allison]

Dates of the form YYYY-MM-DD which are not ISO 9610 dates should be interpreted in the local timzone context (as are all other date forms) whereas ISO9610 dates need to be interpreted as GMT. The patch below fixes the constructor to use the local timezone for dates which are not
in ISO9610 format. It also fixes a minor problem in the recognition of ISO9610 dates.
