That actually answers another question I had, but I thought maybe it wasn't relevant for you (millisecond resolution, also quite commonly what you get from Java apps doing ISO8601).
It's really just a minor detail, as NTP kind of hides leap seconds most of the time (because really, they're a pretty horrible hack), but technically speaking, sometimes the second field can contain "60" -- i.e. the minute contains 61 seconds. There's one this year, in June. So, depending on how your system implements leap seconds, you might see: 2015-06-30T23:59:60Z And this should possibly (probably?) be accepted.
