Really - who read ISO 8601?

Section 5.3 (of FDIS for 2000 edition): Time of the Day

As this International Standard is based on the 24-hour timekeeping system that is now in common use, hours are represented by two digits from [00] to [24], ...

The representation of the hour by [24] is only allowed to indicate midnight, see 5.3.2.

5.3.2 Midnight
The complete representations in basic and extended format for midnight, in accordance with 5.3.1, shall be expressed in either of the two following ways:

         Basic format     Extended format
a)      000000           00:00:00         (the beginning of a day);
b)      240000           24:00:00         (the end of a day).

The wording in the previous edition (ISO 8601:1988) is equivalent.
