That basically says to use T and Z rather than t and z, which I agree
is good.  So here's my proposal:

   Protocols often contain data items which are designed to contain
   timestamps or time durations.  It is RECOMMENDED that all data
   items containing timestamps conform to the "date-time" production
   in [RFC3339], with the additional restriction that uppercase rather
   than lowercase letters be used.  It is also RECOMMENDED that all data
   items containing time durations conform to the "duration" production
   in Appendix A of [RFC3339], with the same additional restriction.

I would further urge that the recommendation be changed to requirements.
