Strongly agree, can not change existing use/std. as relates to C89/C90 etc.

Would also suggest (as minor alternative):

  __DATEI__  date index-order, numeric, sort friendly; also US-military, etc..
    output:  yyyymmdd   eg. 20080524

  __DATEI-EN__  date index-order, non-ambiguous, English(US/GB)
    output:  yyyy-Mmm-dd   eg. 2008-May-24

  __DATEI-FR__  date index-order, non-ambiguous, Français(FR)
    output:  yyyy-Mmm-dd   eg. 2008-Mai-24

  __DATEI-DE__  date index-order, non-ambiguous, Deutsch(D)   ETC..


  __TIMEI__  time index-order, 24HR, sort friendly
    output:  hh:mm:ss   eg. 10:53:14

  __TIMEN__  time index-order, 24HR, numeric, sort friendly
    output:  hhmmss   eg. 105314
