[i18n-activity] dateTime reference when mapping to JSON types (#683)

aphillips has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity:

== dateTime reference when mapping to JSON types ==
6.1.1 Mapping to JSON Types
https://cdn.staticaly.com/gh/w3c/wot-thing-description/TD-TAG-review/index.html?env=dev#td-basic-types-mapping

> Vocabulary terms that use simple type dateTime MUST be serialized as JSON string and have the lexical form YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ. This lexical form represents a subset of the XSD built-in dateTime datatype , itself inspired by the ISO standard for dates and times [ISO8601].

While this is correct, a better reference to this specific format would be [RFC3339]'s `date-time`. This is exactly this format.

Also, the pattern given includes `Z`, which, when it appears as the literal string `Z` means "UTC". But it can also mean that offsets such as `-03:00` or `+08:00` are also permitted. Please clarify what is intended here. Note that UTC is recommended.
