Thanks Regina!
Yet, Wikipedia is obviously also misleading. It's a pity how such a fundamental
international standard is not available to public, other than in previews like
https://webstore.ansi.org/preview-pages/ISO/preview_ISO+8601-2004.pdf.

Section 4.3 in ISO 8601:2004 is "Date and time of day"; 4.3.2 is "Complete
representations"; and there's no "4.3.2.1" there. And the section just
discusses the representations like "YYYYMMDDThhmmss", "YYYY-Www-DThh:mm±hh"
etc. with examples, and discusses the parts and their order for different types
of dates like "calendar dates" and "week dates". No mention of Gregorian or
Julian calendars there. (I can't share a link to a copy of the standard that I
found with DuckDuckGo, somewhere at "http://dotat.at/").

Possibly the reference is valid in some different edition than 2004.
