+Yes, this is due to the point that Oliver mentioned before: those
+"standards" are made by a certain group which is located in one region
+and accustomed to that region's language and ways to do things. Who in
+some other country could imagine what that "T" is there for?
+
+We do have official standards in Germany for official letters, usable
+in legal battles - use this date format and your letter may be useless
+in court (I'm a bit exaggerating here, I know) because this so-called
+standard does not match the German standard for time stamps. But, ok,
+most people do not know about that date standard anyway. A good
+feature for a standard.
