OK, I installed the patch below.  Comments welcome.  In particular,
the new %:z, %::z, %:::z strftime formats are a bit weird-looking, but
I couldn't think of anything better.

Unfortunately I ran into problems when implementing -i
(--rfc-3339='clock') because the clock resolution turns out to be hard
to get.  On my host (Debian stable), for example, clock_getres returns
a resolution of 10 ms, but the actual resolution of gettime is 1
microsecond.  And time stamps may come from sources other than the
hardware clock (e.g., -d, -f, -r) so it may be inappropriate to use
the hardware clock resolution even if we could get it correctly.

For now I left that part unimplemented, and so the patch below omits
--rfc-3339='clock' and -i.

2005-09-13  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * NEWS: date has a new --rfc-3339 option, and the old --iso-8601
        option is deprecated.  date and ls also have new time format
        specifiers %:z, %::z, %:::z.
        * doc/coreutils.texi (Time conversion specifiers, Options for date):
        Document date --rfc-3339 and new specifiers %:z, %::z, %:::z.  Use
        "date and time" consistently; the old version sometimes said "time
        and date".  Fix a minor bug in the documentation for --rfc-2822:
        it claimed day-of-month < 10 had leading space, not leading zero.
        Use a consistent format for terms like "RFC".
        * lib/strftime.c (my_strftime): Add support for %:z, %::z, %:::z.
        Fix bug in formats like %2N.
        * src/date.c (TIME_SPEC_DATE): No longer needs to be nonzero, so
        remove the "=1".
        (TIME_SOEC_HOURS, TIME_SPEC_MINUTES): Must be at end now, so put
        them there.
        (time_spec_string, time_spec): Hours and minutes must be at
        start now, so put them there.
        (rfc_2822_format): Now a string constant, not a boolean.  All uses
        changed.
        (iso_8601_format, rfc_format): Remove.
        (RFC_3339_OPTION): New constant.
        (long_options): Add --rfc-3339.
        (usage): Add --rfc-3339.  Don't mention --iso-8601.
        Mention %:z, %::z, %:::z.
        (main): Simplify calculation of 'format'; it was getting too hairy
        to follow.  Add --rfc-3339.
        (show_date): Assume format arg is not NULL, which is the case
        now.  The default code is moved to 'main'.  This simplifies things
        and allows the default to be calculated just once.
        * tests/misc/date: Add tests for --rfc-3339.
