Props to you for citing ISO 8601. Most folks don’t care :(

  See also RFC 3339, which seems to be a stricter dialect of ISO 8601. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/522251/whats-the-difference-between-iso-8601-and-rfc-3339-date-formats https://stackoverflow.com/questions/522251/whats-the-differe...

  It doesn't help that getting a copy of the actual standard costs an arm and a leg[1,2], especially if you want both parts of the 2019 edition.

    To be fair nobody* actually uses final ISO standards even if they refer to them. I think JPEG is an example of where the "draft" became the de facto official standard because that's what everybody used instead of paying for the actual standard.

  There are certain industries where you need to care. Or many lives will be lost because of it. Always follow the standard, even if it takes extra time to implement.
