I just did a google search and found some references [1] stating that 
ISO 8601:1988 and ISO 8601:2000 have been withdrawn and replaced with 
ISO 8601:2004.  I'm not sure what the differences are (I haven't read 
through the whole article yet), though it looks like the basic date 
format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ) is still the same, so it shouldn't be an 
issue.
