Yes, sounds good to me. The documentation says DATE_AND_TIME is from F95, so:
"... defined by Fortran 95 and later standards."
Or just: "... defined by the Fortran 95 standard".

Agreed. But it would be nice if the non-standard extensions would at least
refer to a standard alternative. So, all of LTIME, ITIME, IDATE should have a
"See also" section that lists DATE_AND_TIME.
