That used to be what letters were expected to have in Germany but because nobody actually stuck to that law they made it optional, instead also allowing the much more common dd.mm.yyyy which is almost as acceptable in my opinion.

RFC3339 is also acceptable

Something tells me that ISO was created to make programming easier. Time/date stuff on computers are a menace in general.
