At this point for most general purposes (like timestamping) it makes 
more sense to reference RFC 3339 rather than ISO 8601, which is freely 
available and has fewer options for people to screw up.

AFAIK, the presence or absence of a T in an ISO 8601 timestamp has 
nothing to do with local time zone. The T is required in all cases of 
combined date and time unless people decide not to use it. My only 
criticism of RFC 3339 was failing to make the T mandatory.
