This is the text from Section 2.4 of RFC 5731:

"The extended date-time form using upper case "T" and "Z" characters defined in [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028] MUST be used to represent **date-time** values, as XML Schema does not support truncated date-time forms or lower case "T" and "Z" characters."

I used "**" to emphasize the requirement in the text for date-time, not date, values. The date in the example is described by the XML Schema date (not dateTime) data type, which does not require use of the optional time zone. This isn't explicitly mentioned in RFC 5731 because it is explicitly mentioned in the normative XML Schema reference.
