[INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE] - Datetime object support now via
->epoch method instead of ->strftime.
Despite the fact that this is an incompatible change, it
should actually be a nonevent for almost all users, because
every datetime module I could find that supports ->strftime
also supports ->epoch (and vice versa).
However, the ->strftime methods of many modules are (subtly
or badly) broken in the face of timezones even as their
->epoch methods work right (or else are broken subtly
enough to escape notice).
But if you have written your own datetime class, and it
has a ->strftime method but not an ->epoch method, and
you pass instance of that class to instance of this module,
then the feeds you generate that way will now be broken.
On balance, I believe that this change will unbreak vastly
more code than it breaks. Therefore I decided to switch.
