That's a strawman, the datetime concept does not exist in human language, no
datetime will ever appear in human sentences (you'll get dates and times, the
format of which is perfectly appropriate in iso 8601 for humans).
Besides, iso 8601 is a very flexible spec, and provides for variations whenever
needed. The W3C profile is just a profile of iso 8601 (for HTML/XML code)
