ISO 8601-1:2020-12 specifies that a zero timezone offset must be denoted

Hmph, would this break existing scripts that expects the current
behaviour, and if it does, is it safe for us to blame the script
authors for not following the standard?

From my PoV, if they don't stick it is not you to blame. The standard also says that it is equiv ("Z") to both numeral offsets. At the end strict is strict.

Thanks,
