grml; it is but people have been ignorant for ages now, still using DIN 1355;
not sure we want to encourage this anymore:(

What follows is from the top of my head:

ISO8601 - from 198x[x=8|9]/1991
EN28601 - from 1992
DIN5008 - from 2001

In contrast to that DIN1355 imho was fomm 194x, changed at least 1975
and I think they did something mid-90s after EN28601 was out.

Imho since 2005 or 2006 ISO8601 is authoritative.
