As I mentioned to Stuart on IRC, we have already datetime parsing capabilities 
in Zope 3 that are set out to replace datetimeutil. It is in zope.i18n. It 
has a date parser based on patterns like you have in spreadsheets and ICU. 
The current locale support uses the parser and formatter already all the 
time.
