Is there a reason why ISO8601 is not being followed?

IMHO, date and time should follow ISO8601 as documented; or deviate by
breaking out the date time parts, naturally, parts would need to be
optional..
<datetime>
	<year>...</year>
	<month>...</month>
	<day>...</day>
	<hour>...</hour>
	<minute>...</minute>
	<second>...</second>
	...plus other ISO8601 elements...
</datetime>

Or
<datetime>
  <date>...</date>
  <time>...</time>
</datetime>

Gee, with schema extensions, we could extend datetime to support
nanoseconds!.
