Description

https://github.com/cloudevents/sdk-java/blob/main/api/src/main/java/io/cloudevents/types/Time.java uses the OffsetDateTime parse method to parse timestamps. However, the RFC 3399 specification allows the use of spaces instead of a "T" in the ISO format:

Research direction

Start by reading api/src/main/java/io/cloudevents/types/Time.java and the OffsetDateTime parse call. Compare its accepted timestamp format with RFC 3339 section 5.6; done means timestamps using a space instead of "T" are accepted while existing parsing continues to work.
