I think you should drop the validation option. This is only used in a
deprecated ABI and is mostly wrong as many RTCs will still be valid
after 2100.

Same here, this doesn't protect February, April, June, September and
November. There is one RTC that think that 31st of November is valid.

Some RTCs will consider 60 valid. So, really, instead of fixing all of
those, I'd just get rid of the validation option.

I'd go for ISO 8601 and use a 'T' here.
