Description

To bring the International Date and Time Format to the attention of the Internet world and beyond.

Likewise, ISO8601-compliant Time is in a standard 24-hour
format, either stated directly in UT (Universal Time),
{preferred} or else in local time but with a numerical
indicator showing the local timezone offset from UT.
