Wow thanks! That's very helpful (though it might have been more
fair to your time if you just kicked it back to me saying "rewrite
the docs" so they make sense)!

I've applied them with a couple minor changes.

* If ISO 8601 5.5.3.1.d's statement "The designator T shall be
absent if all of the time components are absent." also applies
to 5.5.4.2.2; then I think the 'T' needed to be inside the
<optional> tags, so I moved it there. The link to the spec's
below[1].

* There was a <sect2> that the patch changed to a <sect3>, and
with that change I get an error:
openjade:datatype.sgml:2306:31:E: document type does not allow element "SECT3" here
so I changed it back to a <sect2>.

You can see my changes to your patch on gitweb here: http://tinyurl.com/6crks6
and see how they got applied after your patch here http://tinyurl.com/685hla

I think I've updated my website, my git, and the cleanup patch to include
these changes now.

They're clearly improvements. I'm a total novice when it comes to
writing docs.
