Sorry, I was thinking of timestamp formats not intervals.
You're right that we don't have anything else particularly ISO-standard
for intervals, but my understanding is that formats like '2003-09-08
18:43:31.046283-04' are ISO8601 compatible for timestamps. (Possibly
you need to put a T in there for strict compatibility, not sure.)
