That's a bold statement. I don't think I've ever seen a program / library which implements any standard completely and without issues. It's not uncommon to see a list of things that are not done, incomplete, or just called out as wrong and rejected from the implementation.

It's not perfect, but no implementation will ever be imho.

Not implementing part of a standard is different from implementing it differently than the standard specifies.

YYYY-MM is year-month, not year-day365. It's not very reasonable to interpret yyyy-mm as year-day365 in a function called iso8601 when the standard says that's not how to interpret it.
