It means ISO 8601 compliant value.

Do we have any dates around or before year 3400 BC that are know with day or 
less accuracy? In fact, in years 3000 BC and below, there are only two dates 
with precision of 9 (year) and one with precision of decade, and none with more 
precise dates. In fact, I do not think it is possible to have dates with higher 
precision for such years in either of the calendars we are currently converting 
(Gregorian and Julian), since I can not see where such precise dates would be 
coming from.

So I think we'll be fine.
