[Fred] > Hmm, that's right (ISO 8601:2000, section 5.4.2). Sigh. Ain't your fault. I didn't remember that I had seen the XML-RPC spec before, in conjunction with its crazy rules for representing floats. It's a very vague doc indeed. Anyway, some quick googling strongly suggests that many XML-RPC implementors don't know anything about 8601 either, and accept/produce only the non-8601 format inferred from the single example in "the spec".
