I wouldn't quite call Moment and similar "de facto standards", especially not to the degree of something like Underscore/Lodash or Promises/A+ (especially Bluebird), which resulted in numerous obvious additions to the spec - ES5 function and array methods are nearly a clone of those in Underscore, and ES6 promises are a mix of RSVP.js and Bluebird (with implementations initially adapted from the latter). Async functions came after promise users immediately jumped all over `co` and later, Bluebird's `Promise.fromCoroutine`, in both Node and the browser.
As for existing work on dates (we all know they're broken), check out this proposal, currently stage 1: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-temporal. (It currently has no date parsing facilities, but ISO 8601 support is being considered.)
