I must blame the overwhelming amount of homework for my error. Indeed, it is ISO, and I appreciate Duncan's remarks on their connection.

They have no direct connection with SI; their indirect connection is that they are both products of international standards writing bodies. Incidentally, encouraging as it is to see good use being made of the rational Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second format, the STANDARDS [ISO 8601, ANSI X3.30 etc.] by BYU, it should be noted that the use of the solidus ("/") as a delimiter between elements of the date is not sanctioned. The use of the solidus is reserved for the purpose of indicating a range of dates as in (say) 2001-10-30/31 where something takes place during the final two days of October.
