Wouldn't it be better to use iso8601 as internal format?
In a relational database schema or a triple store, yes. In the primary JSON blobs, no - there we generally want to store data as entered by the user: if the user entered a length in feet, we store feet, and if they entered a date in Julian, we store Julian. Attempting to handle dates different in this regard was one source of confusion that led to the current mess (think diffs, for example).
