Accept EBICS order timestamps with no decimals for seconds

For timestamps provided when sending an order request although the EBICS Specification generally refers to 3 decimal places for seconds being expected, it just points to the W3 datetime specification (https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime) which states that the form must be: 

'-'? yyyy '-' mm '-' dd 'T' hh ':' mm ':' ss ('.' s+)? (zzzzzz)? 

where:

'.' s+ (if present) represents the fractional seconds;

and that:

The fractional second string, if present, must not end in '0';

This has been implemented by some vendors of EBICS Client software such that if the timestamp occurs on a whole second then the ('.'s+) is omitted entirely so the IBM EBICS Server needs to allow for and accept these.

THE ebicsserver.initialisation.request.timestamp.format property (e.g. yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSZ) permits any number of decimal places up to the maximum specified (SSSSSS) but insists that the decimal point is provided. A value such as 2023-11-30T12:01:01Z should be accepted just as 2023-11-30T12:01:01.0Z is. Perhaps a value similar to the RegEx permitting definition of optional elements could be used instead?
