Ain't your fault.  I didn't remember that I had seen the XML-RPC spec
before, in conjunction with its crazy rules for representing floats. 
It's a very vague doc indeed.

Anyway, some quick googling strongly suggests that many XML-RPC
implementors don't know anything about 8601 either, and accept/produce
only the non-8601 format inferred from the single example in "the
spec".  Heh -- kids <wink>.
