* If @timer has been started but not stopped, obtains the time since

- * Converts @time_ into an ISO 8601 encoded string, relative to the

+ * Converts @time_ into an RFC 3339 encoded string, relative to the

+ *
+ * ISO 8601 allows a large number of date/time formats, with or without
+ * punctuation and optional elements. The format returned by this function
+ * is a complete date and time, with optional punctuation included, the
+ * UTC time zone represented as "Z", and the @tv_usec part included if
+ * and only if it is nonzero, i.e. either
+ * "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ" or "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.fffffZ".

+ * This corresponds to the Internet date/time format defined by

+ * to either of the two most-precise formats defined by
+ * <ulink url="http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime-19980827">the W3C Note
+ * "Date and Time Formats"</ulink>. Both of these documents are profiles of
