• ISO 8601 is paywalled
  • RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:…) which is nicer to read.

    I definitely don’t agree that the RFC is easier to read, the two numbers can appear to be one at a quick glance without a separator.

      But there is a separator between the numbers: the same one that also very reliably separates the words in this comment

        1. A single separator is better than a choice of separators to mean the same thing.
        2. A space is not as apparent in a large log of data as a capital T
        3. Human language is not as strict as a programming language. There is a reason you see people still using “alot” and “a lot”. That just proves it’s easy to overlook and commonly happens.
