[JDEV] date format



I would suggest going with the following, the logical ordering of increasing
granularity. And to prevent a year 10K problem, the date field should be
parsed by taking the right 2 bytes for day, next 2 for month, rest as year :-P

date (@ UTC)
yyyymmdd

time (in UTC of course)
hhmmss
