When we say that a datetime is "ISO 8601", is there a public version of that standard that we can refer to? Maybe RFC 3339? rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3339 cc @pganssle

@davidism The Wikipedia page is pretty good, but no, there isn't a public standard. It is infuriating that we as an industry seem to have chosen to use a proprietary standard, but alas.

RFC 3339 is a very limited subset and requires a time zone offset, so it is not suitable for a wide variety of applications.
