I raised this very issue a couple of months ago:
http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2008-March/ 
011712.html

In short the datetime design pattern says that microformats making  
use of it must define a profile (i.e. subset) of ISO 8601 that is  
supported. But none do.

I've tried to address this in my experimental hCalendar 1.1 spec:
