--[[
Module:Date time – Date formatting and validation module.

This module provides functions for validating and formatting dates in templates such as
{{Start date}}, {{End date}}, {{Start date and age}}, and {{End date and age}}. 
It handles:
- Validation of date components (year, month, day)
- Validation of time components (hour, minute, second)
- Timezone formatting and validation
- Generation of appropriate hCalendar microformat markup
- "time-ago" calculations
