I read the ISO8601 3rd edition standard specification[1], from 2004-12-01, and added support for these features:

 - reduce date format
 - week format
 - day of year format
 - hours/minutes fractions
 - optional date/time separators
 - optional seconds/minutes
 - timezones with only one digit for hour

Attached is the patch with tests for each feature. Additionally,
it fixes the failing test introduced by the initial work on this
issue.

Please review it and give me a '+1', so I can commit my first
Zope code contribution!

Any feedback is welcome.

PS: Don't be afraid of that 45 lines regex, it's just for the
sake of readability and understanding... :-)
