Hi Alexander, Mark, Todd, tech@, Please see the quote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#cite_note-21 "ISO 8601:2004(E)". ISO. 2004-12-01. “4.3.2 NOTE: By mutual agreement of the partners in information interchange, the character [T] may be omitted in applications where there's no risk of confusing a date and time of day representation with others defined in this International Standard.” I also suggest we do not use the [Z] as a mutual agreement ALL times UTC, indicated by omission of the offset to be human friendly and yet correct. Please, see some additional information in the following resources pages. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339#section-5.2 https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html https://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/iso8601.html#sol Kind regards, Anton Lazarov
