You might get some mappers prepared to use the ISO format.  Good luck with
ordinary
consumers using the query tool of standard carto: the results of that are
intimidating
enough without requiring them to read an ISO document to interpret the
results.

One day we're going to have to decide whether OSM is about masturbation or
sex.  Either
we're doing this for ourselves alone or we're trying to produce something
that will be
appreciated and used by non-mappers.  If we're masturbating then T2H30M is
fine.  If
we're trying to have sex then 2.5 hours is the way to go.
