There is a list of ambiguities published in ISO8601ambiguities.doc at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ISO8601/files/ (login required).

A new version of ISO 8601 was published in 2004.  This makes some
things easier: there are no truncated formats though one ought to try
and support earlier versions of the standard.  On the other hand, some
non-ASCII characters are permitted: "non-breaking hyphen" (U+2011) and
"minus sign" (U+2212).

I do not know of any implementations.
