heh, that should have read "_pretty_ strange", btw... :)

so, after some more reading and discussing this with Stefan, it seems
the example should really use `ISO8601()` instead of `ISO()`.  however,
this fails as well:

  $ ~/plone/coredev/branches/4.0/bin/zopepy
  >>> from DateTime import DateTime
  >>> now = DateTime()
  >>> now == DateTime(now.ISO8601())
  False
  >>> now.ISO8601()
  '2010-03-05T11:06:09+01:00'

unlike stated in `DateTime.interfaces` the string returned `ISO8601`
method does not contain the time zone.

tres, do you have any comments on this?

cheers,
