// MediaWiki's format is too non-standard, so we just convert MW

// timestamps to ISO-8601. A paren-wrapped 'UTC' messes everyone up,

// and the comma after the time is only okay in modern Firefox. After

// this first replace, Chrome and Firefox are content. The second

// replace is mainly for Safari, which basically *only* accepts the

// simplified ECMA-262 implementation of ISO-8601.
