Does the standard need to be translated and republished in a country as a new document to be 'adopted' ?
Example: Denmark is listed as DS/ISO 8601:2005 (replaced DS/EN 28601). In DK we stopped translating after 2005 but yet we have ratified/adopted ISO 8601-1:2019, ISO 8601-2:2019 and ISO 8601-1:2019/Amd 1:2022. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A06:4000:8006:A:CB19:6707:26CB:C5C5 (talk) 22:23, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
We might rephrase or delete it so it wouldn't be misleading.
It might confuse the readers looking for the current time, it's not guaranteed to be the current time, since it requires a page purge to update it.
Or we should at least add a disclaimer, but it might be too verbose and distracting. I'm not sure if there is a standard wikipedia disclaimer for this kind of element on pages. Lucasxp64 (talk) 15:15, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
On 17 January 2024 Alexeyevitch (talk · contribs) made an edit which changed many dash-like character changes, quite a few of which were incorrect or inadvisable. For example, the article presented ""2004-05" as valid ISO 8601 notation for May 2004, which it is. The edit changed it to "2004–05" (that is, using an n-dash character) which has an entirely different meaning, 2004-2005. In another spot "−05:00 was changed to "−05:00" which isn't incorrect, but presents difficulties for editors, because in edit mode it is just about impossible to distinguish the various dash-like characters.

This (in Times):
ISO 8601-1:2019 allows the T to be omitted in the extended format, as in "13:47:30", but only allows the T to be omitted in the basic format when there is no risk of confusion with date expressions.
contradicts this (in Combined date and time representations):
In ISO 8601:2004 it was permitted to omit the "T" character by mutual agreement as in "200704051430",[37] but this provision was removed in ISO 8601-1:2019.
Lacking access to the published standard, I've no way of ascertaining which is correct. Roger Rohrbach (talk) 01:44, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
