The above is the iso 'extended form' minus the time separator char.

This is the iso basic format.

The spec does allow the separator to be dropped in applications that have no risk of confusing dates and times for both the basic
and extended form.  Seems like there is no risk of confusion here.  That would be a nice choice b/c the 'T' is not a very good
delimiter for humans. So

2002-06-07 14:52:03Z

would probably be the best.  BTW, if fractional seconds are needed either of the following are valid:

2002-06-07 14:52:03,25Z
2002-06-07 14:52:03.25Z
