Re: Emacs Lisp date/time functions and RFC 3339?

[T. V. Raman]

to re-iterate, the only thing format-time-string  doesn't handle,
and something I find myself hacking in privately, is the printing
of the timezone offset i.e. -08:00 vs -0800

the -0800  problem is also inherent to unix' date command.
