In EPUB 2.0 this is handled by dc:date as referenced in http://www.idpf.org/epub/20/spec/OPF_2.0.1_draft.htm#Section2.2.7

Will have to be careful in 2.x about event since this attribute is largely undefined.

In 3.x this is more clearly established (http://www.idpf.org/epub/301/spec/epub-publications.html#sec-opf-dcmes-optional):

only one dc:date element
this element contains the publication date, other events have to use dcterms:date

Main issue is that ISO8601 is only a recommandation, not a requirement.
