[AstroPy] astropy fits time header

Hi!

I noticed that when we use astropy Time fits formatting the time formatting
looks like this:

"2016-08-18T14:10:24.695(UTC)"

I think this is actually not according to the fits specification:

https://archive.stsci.edu/fits/fits_standard/node87.html#s:tsys

I noticed this problem when we tried to parse DATE-OBS of such a fits file,
we used to be able to parse it with dateutil.parse, but fits files created
with this astropy fits format we can't anymore.

Maybe I am wrong?

greetings,
