Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/8007392/ http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/8007392/javadoc I don't think you mention that the reference to ISO 8601 actually refers to ISO 8601:1988 with Technical Corrigendum 1 applied. That would be ISO 8601:1988/Cor.1:1991 (E). The original standard numbered hours from 1 to 24 and minutes and seconds from 1 to 60, although it is somewhat self-contradictory in this area.

Just to note that the latest ISO-8601 is the 2004 version.

Question is whether specifying a particular version is overly limiting on the specification (and we have never slavishly followed every last detail of the spec anyway).
