[R] ISOdate() and strptime()

[Simon Fear]

People who don't like this behaviour (and particularly those
who dislike it as much as I do), should consider as.date() from 
the dates package as an alternative. Gives you a NA if the
specified date is impossible (at least in all the examples given 
earlier).

Is the behaviour of ISOtime() and strptime() determined by ISO
or POSIX standard? Seems not to fit R's "no nannying" policy
at all. Or maybe it's the future: in version 1.9 will I be able to
type glm() and have R take a best guess at the model 
specification I had in mind?
