But now the question is which is the correct ISO 8601 timestamp?
2008-01-29T11:42:00+01:00 or 2008-01-29T11:42:00+0100?

Both are valid per ISO 8601.  Here's the full spec:

http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink/4021199/ISO_8601_2004_E.zip?func=doc.Fetch&nodeid=4021199

From section 4.2.5.1:

"Basic format: ±hhmm Example: +0100
±hh  +01
Extended format: ±hh:mm Example: +01:00"

While both are valid, hh:mm is probably more friendly to screen readers. If you're running PHP 5, you can get the full ISO 8601 representation with the_time( 'c' ).

Peace,
Scott
