personally, I wobble between whether the grammar should merely /tokenize/ a stamp (it matches the syntactical layout) or /parse/ it (the described moment exists in the UTC sequence)
Either way every datetime library already ships with a production grade iso-8601 parser, by doing this you're forcing them to also handle whatever niche type your library ships to represent this.

as with unicode handling, this seems like something that the config library should delegate to the datetime library, and not vice versa though the toml crate has its own type instead of using core::time or chrono, which I should investigate rather than continue Posting

It's much easier to delegate to the datetime library when you don't make datetime a dedicated type in the format :) I don't think the comparison to unicode is fair, since the decoder fundamentally has to care about strings to parse its input
