    Log Message:
    docs: DOORDROP.INI draft 0.7, renamed from DROPFILE.INI

    The customary file name is now DOORDROP.INI and the environment variable DOORDROP_INI. DROPFILE.INI was too close to the DROPFILE.### of DTS-0001,
    the 1992 named-value proposal the draft cites as prior art, and the
    rename comes before more implementations hardcode the old name (one
    host already shipped against draft 0.3 under it).

    The document moves to docs/doordrop_ini.md. The status section records
    the old names so readers of earlier drafts and that implementation can
    connect the two, and the naming open question is closed.

    Log Message:
    docs: DOORDROP.INI draft 0.7: FILE_TIME is a datetime, not ascii

    Add a datetime type, YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss with an optional UTC offset in
    RFC 3339 form, and give FILE_TIME that type instead of carrying its
    shape in prose under an ascii type. Nothing a producer writes changes.
    The date type stays date-only; a reader wanting only the date of a
    datetime takes the text before the T, as NuSkooler suggested on the
    GitHub mirror.
