I answered your question on Jan 26, 22:38, UTC. That comment contains a quote 
from ISO 8601. I suggest that any developer who is consuming or creating data 
that purports to comply with ISO 8601 should be in possession of that 
specification and have read it. There is currently a copy available at 
https://archive.org/details/pdfy-9p5vLWOVotIh-lDV but I'm not sure if that was 
made available in compliance with copyright laws, so it would be better to 
purchase a copy from ISO or one of their affiliates in your country. It costs 
over $100.
