Aigh!  Please, no!  If anything, please default to ISO
date and time: "2007-02-07 13:33:22".

My notation was off the cuff - good to be reined in ;-)

You could make a strong case for ISO. Its a little unusual to allow
for spaces within the representation of a single data item given
that whitespace has a well established role as separation.

But this discussion presumes that standard representations are an
issue in Boost.Logging and that is not the case.

Cheers.
