… that statement is wrong.

The ISO 8601 date format is unambiguously defined because it always has the
year number (Y), followed by the month number (M), optionally followed by
the day-of-month number (D): YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD. Whereas YYYY, YYYY-MM,
YY-MM-DD, and YYMMDD had been allowed, but the latter two were recommended
against and have been abolished in 2004 CE.

There is no YYYY-DD-MM format specified there, and since there are only 12
months in the Gregorian calendar, there cannot be a 31st.
