If it ain't broke, don't fix it. ISO 8601 provides for 20070709T091029 for
your compressed value below: one character more, and that "T" makes is easy
for a human to parse the figure (there are many more formats in 8601). You
didn't provide seconds, nor a way to deal with fractions of a second; 8601
does.
And, your computer today most likely supports that somewhere or another.
Now, if we only had a decimal-based (divisible only by 10) number of
seconds in a minute, minutes in an hour, hours in a day, days in a month and
month in a year, we'd have something.

Dear OPENDTV friends,
Cheers for all!
To participate of this international forum is very pleasant.
Sometimes, I follow the messages from the opendtv archives.
I wish to suggest a simple way for organize the real sequence of messages:
GMT/UTC numerator.
Example:
Today is 20070709,
(like Mark Schubin's numerator)
The local time im my contry is 7:16
The GMT/UTC time is 10:29
The composed message number is 200707091029
What do you think so?
