As explained on the linked page, right near the top:
"The date and time functions use a subset of IS0-8601 date and time formats."
SUBSET means some of, but not all of. ISO-8601 permits 24 hours, 60 minutes,
and 61 seconds in a day. However, this is not part of the "supported subset"
either. The supported subset permits hours in the range 00 through 23, minutes
in the range from 00 through 59, seconds in the range from 00.0 through
59.999999999999999.
The "acceptable" offset formats are [ ]{+|-}HH:MM
The space is optional, the + or - is required, the hours MUST be two digits
with a value between 00 and 14, the : is required, and the minutes must be two
digits between 00 and 59. +00:00 or -00:00 can be expressed as Z.
The subset of ISO-8601 which omits the ":" and minutes in the offset (or
leading zero's) is not part of the supported subset. Nor is using a "named"
offset, other than the Z alias for +00:00 to indicate GMT.
Note that this is NOT the timezone. It is the instant offset such that the
datetime string is always a "proper" and identifiable "instant in time". You
can only guess what the timezone/localization is from all the available
timezones which express the given "instant offset" at the GMT time given. Even
then you could be wrong.
Making the ":" or the minutes optional in the instant offset from Zulu time
would be an enhancement or extension to the supported "subset of ISO-8601".

The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a
lot about anticipated traffic volume.
