It would be very helpful. I use only ISO 8601 for human display
anyway, so I need to convert it regardless. Other people will surely
want to display in their national format. Scripting is made
dramatically easier with machine-readable format.
In Perl, converting from POSIX.1 time_t format to human-readable
format is just a matter of "scalar localtimme $t", whereas converting
the other way requires a significant amount of code.
