Note that all current data representation formats assume that 
"0000-01-01T00:00:00" is a valid representation:

- XML Schema 1.1: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/#dateTime
- RDF 1.1: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-Datatypes
- OWL 2: http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-syntax/#Datatype_Maps

Moreover, XML Schema 1.1 argues that this change was made "in order to agree 
with existing usage", and I would agree there: many existing documents used the 
ISO interpretation of years even before it became official. In other words, if 
we want to export data to RDF, we should definitely conform with current usage 
and standards. I imagine that it would be easy for BlazeGraph to use either 
semantics if we asked for support there.

Regarding the intention of SPARQL 1.1, I now have sent an enquiry to the former 
SPARQL WG:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sparql-dev/2015JanMar/0031.html
which will hopefully lead to further clarification on this matter.
