Ah, excellent opportunity for educational nitpicking ... :-) "19.19" means in ISO 8601 actually that this event happend 19.19 hours after midnight (= 19:11:24 or 19 hours, 11 minutes and 24 seconds). Use the decimal dot for decimal fractions of the hour only and the colon for base-60 fractions (minutes and seconds). Considering that the original header of the quoted USMA:22620 was Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2002 11:19:59 +0200 (MEST) which equals 2002-10-11 19:19:59+1000 the decimal dot is obviously not correct here.
