Well, it's possible to write and say a date out in numeric form in year-month-day format, as it has been done with ISO's year-week-day format. Does this sound...

Well, the double-hyphen is part of the the standard and looks so similar to what has been traditionally used (single hyphen) for time intervals. On some fonts,...

As you state, strictly speaking "2003-11-22 13:30:15" is not an ISO 8601 date. You could of course consider it an ISO 8601 date followed by an ISO 8601 time,...
