As you correctly pointed out, the specification is inconsistent in this point.

So right now the text says one thing, the equally authoritative clients 
referred to in the document do something else, and apparently use just the 
function based on RFC3339.

So sticking with the RFC means less code changed:

What old clients write is perfectly RFC compatible, and clients should not 
implement their own parsers for this, but use the system function, which also 
implements the RFC. 

Best regards,
Georg
