Comment(by nickm):

 Replying to [comment:5 nickm]:
 > Okay. The biggest impact I can see here is that if we make this change,
 it will be easy to make a descriptor (or a hidden service descriptor!)
 that older Tors accept, but newer Tors don't.  Other parse_iso_time users
 are parsing tor-generated local files.

 One possibility for now: check these items strictly when we're acting as a
 directory authority or a hidden service directory, and leniently
 otherwise.
