Jacob   is  right:  the  DOD  policy  is  that  if  there  is  an
international standard already in existence  for  something,  and
the  standard  meets the military requirements, then the standard
would be used in preference to inventing something new.  I  would
think  that  policy  applies to calendar date/time strings (but I
can't verify from my own knowledge that the syntax Jacob gave  is
correct).   Barry Leiner or Bob Kahn could give a more definitive
statement of the policy, but this is the essence of it.
