Hi Patrik,

thank you for the elucidation.

I have built 
https://github.com/ietf-wg-sedate/draft-ietf-sedate-datetime-extended/pull/41
out of this information and other information in the thread.
The text in this PR is still trying to be helpful, but with stable references only.

Comments welcome.

Grüße, Carsten
