The format including both date & time is:YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss
where the capital letter T is used to separate the date and time components. For example, 2003-04-01T13:01:02. You can also write the date without the time.I have been a silent contributor (behind the sceen) while building the ISO Date Standard since 1975 on Descending Order Dating and generally follow in my mail BUT have used a 'slash (/)' seperating Time of the Day. Also refer ISO/R 2015-1971 (E).
I also included some of these ideas between pages 121 thro 133 while elaborating on The Calendar Question (3. ALL NUMERAL DECADAY DATING) in my book: Towards A Unified Technology (1983).
Time instant at the moment of my writing this note, thus, is:
20040217/14:38:67 (decimal)

*****The New Calendar Rhyme*****
Thirty days in July, September:
April, June, November, December;
All the rest have thirty-one; accepting February alone:
Which hath but twenty-nine, to be (in) fine;
Till leap year gives the whole week READY:
Is it not time to MODIFY or change to make it perennial, Oh Daddy!
And make the calendar work with Leap Week Rule! ***** ***** ***** *****

This is off topic, but there seems to be a lot of confusion about the ISO date and time formats. I recommend everyone to read the summary on the ISO web site:

Note that the date separator is "-" and the time separator is ":". Finally, note that you need all 4 numbers in the year, not just the last 2.

I use 8601 now for more 3 years now and never was opposed to a problem by now.
Most projects on the web (sourceforge), scientists and students use it.
