Update ISO 8601 to specific implementation #2250

Closed rettinghaus closed 2 years ago

rettinghaus commented 2 years ago

This specifies the ISO 8601 standard named in att.datable.iso.xml and teidata.temporal.iso.xml to be the one from the standard published in 2004 (i.e. not the latest standard).

connected to #2249

This seems to be a sensible modification, simply because it makes things more precise, by pinpointing the version of the ISO standard that the Guidelines currently use. Given what Klaus says in @2249, perhaps I should even say that "it makes things right", because if you provide a non-dated reference to an ISO standard, it is interpretable as, roughly, "all versions up till the most recent one", and as far as I understand, "24:00" was OK in the 2004 version but is not OK now.

@bleekere and I looked at this (for the purpose of assigning to someone), and we both think it looks just fine. Thus we did not assign, we just merged.
