Then you misread my answer. Almost all tools that exist today use the 2000 version of the ISO standard. A prominent example is ECMAScript, and thus all JavaScript implementations, and virtually every JavaScript timeline implementation. See http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-15.9.1.15 and the examples in the following section to see this. RDF tools are an understandable exception, not because people there think one should cling to the old standard, but because RDF 1.1 was only standardised in 2014. It is natural that existing RDF implementations have more pressing upgrade work to do than to fix BCE date handling. I am sure they will all move to the new standard in due course. It is worth noting that all of the ECMAScript documents use "ISO 8601" to refer to "ISO 8601:2000", just like we did in the Wikidata data model specification. It seems that most people are not confused by this. Having dug up ECMA from the Web, I can now also safely say that JSON exports should definitely use ISO 8601:2000 dates. The new situation therefore is: ISO, W3C, and all JavaScript implementations vs. a subset of the developers in the WMDE office. I am very unhappy about the amount of my time I have to put into digging up for you what the rest of the world is thinking. It's a nice position to put yourself in, asking others to find specific arguments against your position and assuming you are right if they don't have the time or knowledge to do it. Now I am myself far from being an expert in JavaScript or even in all details of SPARQL 1.1, but if I don't know something I try to find out before taking part in discussions like this.
