What library did you use? What is your epoch? Are those seconds or milliseconds? Is it UTC or TAI?

ISO8601 and friends are literally for formatting dates for the purpose of exchange.

The good thing about ints is that typically the stdlibs themselves deliver quite good tooling to work with Unix timestamps so in most cases you don't really use a library for the timestamps themselves.

You're assuming everyone is using the same standard library as you. Not every library uses even the same indivisible unit to tell time.
