-C<YYYY-MM-DD> and C<[time]> given as C<hh:mm:ss>. The final C<Z> is a short

-accepts all of C<+0000>, C<-0000>, and C<Z>, the default formatter for
-C<DateTime> always expresses UTC as C<Z>.) The general notation for the

-assumed to be a static offset equal to the C<[offset]>. The C<[offset]> is

+The general form is C<[date]T[time][offset]>, with C<[date]> and C<[time]>
+required, and C<[offset]> optional. All fields require leading zeros to pad to
+the correct number of digits.
+
+The C<[date]> portion may be given in any of the forms C<YYYY-MM-DD>,
+C<YYYY-MM>, C<YYYY-Www>, C<YYYY-Www-D>, or C<YYYY-DDD>. Omitted values are set
+to their defaults as listed in the named arguments form above. Note that
+C<DateTime> does not support year numbers requiring more than four digits with
+this constructor.
+
+The C<[time]> portion may be given in any of C<hh:mm:ss>, C<hh:mm>, or
+C<hh>. Omitted values are set to their defaults.
+
+Fractional values are only kept for the seconds field. Fractions in the hour and
+minute fields are converted to integer combinations of it and more granular
+fields before storing the values. Fractions may only occurs in the
+smallest-occuring time unit.
+
+The C<[offset]> portion may be any of C<Z>, C<±hh:mm>, C<±hhmm>, or C<±hh>. C<Z>
+is considered a shorthand for C<+0000>, UTC time. An offset, if provided, is set
+as the timezone of the C<DateTime> object. If you leave out the offset in the
+string, you can use the C<:timezone> named argument alongside it. If no timezone
+information is given, the object is set to UTC by default.

+The date and time forms may optionally omit the separators, either the hyphens
+in the date, or the colons in the time. The notable exception is the C<YYYY-MM>
+form of date, which must retain its hyphen.
