I finally got to looking at this, and I think there's too much that's
changed with Emacs 27 time handling. Rewriting iso8601 to not use Emacs
27 features is not feasible, I think. It would be quite a mess (maybe
impossible) to try to provide full compatibility for this vcard library,
as well, so I think I'm just going to have this require Emacs 27 or
later.
Thanks,
Eric
