Sorry to make you memorize this random string of digits. If it helps, it can also double as a mnemonic for remembering your young relatives’ birthdays, if they happened to have been born on February 5th, 2018.

      Sure, how about 2018-W06-1? Or 2018-036?

      ISO 8601 contains way too many obscure formats. RFC 3339 is pretty much a subset and defines only sensible ones. It also allows 2018-02-05 08:02:43-00:00 (no T and explicitly specifying no timezone)
