Incidentally, the ISO wants you to separate the elements with dashes and
to zero-pad, as in 2005-02-08.

ISO 8601:2000 specifies that the separators are hyphens; it does not
give the Unicode encoding. However, IIRC, a dash is not a hyphen.
Mostly, I expect that Unicode 0045 = ISO-7 45 will be used; that's the
well-known keyboard character commonly used for "minus".

I've not yet seen ISO 8601:2004.
