I think this is quite error prone, demonstrated by the fact that we 
screwed that up ourselves on a few occasions.  I think that the frontend 
should be relieved from this by letting it provide the time of change in 
a more natural format amongst all possible ones(like RFC2822 for 
example) and gfi should simply give it to parse_date().

Otherwise I think this is pretty nice.
