PmWiki _also_ uses strtotime, but it also checks for some things
that strtotime doesn't quite understand properly:
yyyy-mm-dd ISO date
yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm ISO date+time
@nnnnnnnnn Unix timestamp
now
today
tomorrow
yesterday
If the time format doesn't match any of the above, then PmWiki
calls strtotime and uses that.
