Comment:

 While this fix introduces some consistency is also breaks some clients.


 Previously this worked fine:
 {{{
 <member><name>post_date_gmt</name><value><dateTime.iso8601>20140630T08:46:25</dateTime.iso8601></value></member>
 }}}

 This gets parsed into an IXR_Date and then we try and treat is as a string
 :(

 I think we need to make new and edit post accept both dateTime.iso8601 in
 the structs and dates as strings.

 The get function will return dateTime.iso8601 which make a strong ease of
 use argument for supporting it in the other methods.
