Hi,
We may need to tighten this up; by calling out ISO, folks may
incorrectly assume various features that are by design not reflected in
the API.
Either we need to say what aspects of 8601 and version the API conforms to
and /or list the variances.

I don't think you mention that the reference to ISO 8601 actually refers to
ISO 8601:1988 with Technical Corrigendum 1 applied. That would be ISO
8601:1988/Cor.1:1991 (E).
The original standard numbered hours from 1 to 24 and minutes and seconds
from 1 to 60, although it is somewhat self-contradictory in this area.
Just to note that the latest ISO-8601 is the 2004 version.
Question is whether specifying a particular version is overly limiting
on the specification (and we have never slavishly followed every last
detail of the spec anyway).
