The current standard document says:
All time values are specified in UTC and should use one particular variation of the ISO 8601 standard
with the addition of sub-seconds:
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.ssssss
[...]
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS
[...]
YYYY-MM-DD
This is kind of a contradiction, as ISO 8401 says on time strings with no time zone indicated:
If no UTC relation information is given with a time representation, the time is assumed to be in local time.
In order to avoid this, I'd like to propose to remove the reference to ISO 8601 from the text. The patterns and the requirement of those to be in UTC are a sufficient definition of the request parameters.
