There is a draft in the IESG last-call queue that profiles ISO8601 time
formats.
See: http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-impp-datetime-04.txt
In my opinion, the ISO8601 (subset) format is better suited for use when
primarily intended for human display (and arguably so in that case as well).
