I also couldn't find it in the ISO-8601 specification (page 31 and 32):

I didn't realize the actual ISO spec was available for free. Section 4.4.3.3 of that document covers the "Alternative Format" for duration mentioned in Wikipedia:

The complete representation of the expression for duration in the alternative format is as follows:
Basic format: PYYYYMMDDThhmmss or PYYYYDDDThhmmss
Extended format: PYYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss or PYYYY-DDDThh:mm:ss

That section also includes several references to other sections defining date and time formats, including "reduced accuracy" formats (i.e. removing segments with values of zero). So I believe "PT04:46" is a valid ISO 8601 duration.
