Description

This may conflict with data serialized through other RDF libraries.
For instance, Python rdflib automatically translates Z into +00:00, which prevents proper ingestion into Blazegraph, due to:
https://github.com/wikimedia/wikidata-query-rdf/blob/master/common/src/main/java/org/wikidata/query/rdf/common/WikibaseDate.java#L46

	Subject	Repo	Branch	Lines +/-
	Support +00:00 as timezone	wikidata/query/rdf	master	+11 -2

Mentioned In: T144482: ISO date format not honored by Mediawiki API (arvbadtimestamp_arvstart)

Supporting +00:00 would be easy. Supporting other TZs a bit harder I imagine.

Thanks for your work, @Smalyshev !

Support for +00:00 and -00:00 implemented. All the rest in not currently planned but if needed, let's create new ticket with use case.
