date parsing problem

In pysvn I use svn_parse_date to convert the string date from
svn_client_log
into apr_time_t.

One user reports that the dates are not getting converted.
He used vss2svn to create the repos with these bad dates.

Here is a log entry my user found is causing the problem.

svn log -r {2002-03-05}:{2002-03-01} --xml file://localhost/p:/svn/
produtos
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<log>
<logentry
   revision="2772">
<author>paulo</author>
<date>2002-03-04T19:57:0.000030Z</date>
<msg>Checked in $/CardioMg/TransTel</msg>
</logentry>
<logentry
   revision="2771">
<author>paulo</author>
<date>2002-03-04T18:48:0.000028Z</date>
<msg>Checked in $/CardioMg/Recorder</msg>
</logentry>

I'm guessing that the issue is that there is only 1 digit for the
seconds where
as iso 8601 mandates 2 digits.

At this point we have a bad date and svn_parse_date says it cannot
parse it.
No problem. But it seems that the svn command is parsing these dates
so that
it can support revision date ranges.

Am I right that these are not iso 8601 format date?
Is it your intention that these almost iso 8601 dates should be
supported?
If so why doesn't svn_parse_date support them?
