Research direction
Start by comparing the JavaScript Date/toISOString behavior with the XML-RPC specification, ISO 8601, and Frontier's date-time format. Determine which representation provides the required interoperability and document the decision; the issue currently does not identify a specific file, test, or implementation change.

Description
One of the things I'm learning is that there is are problems with date-time values.
The question is whether or not the date part of the date-time should have hyphens. The Frontier implementation does not. The example in the XML-RPC spec does not have hyphens.
But ISO 8601 seems to say they must be present.
The built-in JavaScript function includes the hyphens.
I don't have any other implementations that I can easily check against, so I don't know what offers the most interop with other XML-RPCs. For now I'm documenting the issue, and leaving the JavaScript implementation as it is, for now. This means in this area it does not interop with Frontier, in that Frontier will not understand the JS date-time values. Going in the other direction there is no problem, because I've included a workaround.
