Shane!  That is totally awesome!  👍

Thank you so much for researching and finding a great solution for all of us!
And for going to the next level by creating the compiled framework!!!

I just downloaded your framework and script, and of course it works great!
It handles all those formats, and converts the time to your local time zone.
Couldn't ask for more.

But there's a third-party open-source alternative that fits the bill nicely. You can read about it and download it here: <https://github.com/boredzo/iso-8601-date-formatter>. It handles most formats, including week date and ordinal date formats. That download is not going to be much use to most scripters, but essentially it can compile into a framework that can be called from AppleScript. I've compiled the framework, and you can download it here: <https://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/apps/ISO8601_framework.zip>.

Once you add it to your system, either in ~/Library/Frameworks or within a library or other script bundle, calling it is simple. You can make it run in a strict mode, or the default of more lenient parsing, where it handles different delimiters and things like leading spaces. Here's an example script:
