But even our ISO 8601 is keyed to user imput as it is by
design readable. It makes it also easier for simple clients.

ISO 8601 is, in fact, a standard format for user input. Its
one among many. What we are designing here is an extension,
viz. a standard also suitable for user input. Our goal is not
to design the "ideal"--- as if there was such a beast-- format
for user input but its a format none-the-less and with the
features and extensions we have proposed it shall be, if it
meets the demands for data interchange we have set upon us
also provide a functionally richer it not superior user format...
