Topic: DateTime ISO 8601
G.J.R. Timmer (Oct 04 2018 at 09:14):
I would like to propose a RFC concerning the date primitive DateTime.
Proposal: Conform to ISO 8601.
The current regexp state the ':' colon to be mandatory.
While ISO 8601 also states that a timezone can be represented as full numeric: +0500
RFC: please make the colon within the regexp in DateTime optional so that DateTime will respect ISO 8601.

hi. The timezone format we use is that specified by XML schema. We must use the schema timezone format in XML or RDF, and would not use a different format in JSON. If you think that there's a strong reason to support not having the ":" in a timezone, you could take that up with W3C

I'will into it further.
