 > with YYYY-MM again being year and month of the descriptor publication
 time, X and Y being the first and second character of the hex-encoded,
 lower-case SHA-1 descriptor digest, and DIGEST being that descriptor
 digest in full.

 `Y` is year but is also part of the fingerprint. Can we use `YYYY-
 MM/X/Z/DIGEST` (or some other letters) instead?

 I feel this chunk may get repeated a lot. Let's pick some letters we like
 and add this as a paragraph under the top "Data Formats" heading. We also
 need to explain what `HH`, `MM` (which means both month and minutes at the
 moment) and `SS` mean. This could even be a table, e.g.:

 {{{
 <table class="table table-striped">
   <thead>
     <tr>
       <th>Marker</th>
       <th>Description</th>
     </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
     <tr>
       <td>YYYY</td>
       <td>Year</td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
       <td>MM</td>
       <td>Month (2-digits; with leading zero)</td>
     </tr>
     ....
   </tbody>
 </table>
 }}}
