ISO 8601 is paywalled
RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:...) which is nicer to read.

I definitely don't agree that the RFC is easier to read, the two numbers can appear to be one at a quick glance without a separator.

But there is a separator between the numbers: the same one that also very reliably separates the words in this comment

A single separator is better than a choice of separators to mean the same thing.
A space is not as apparent in a large log of data as a capital T
