--iso-8601 switch when invoked with "ns" or "seconds" as a parameter.
--iso-8601 is deprecated since coreutils 5.90.
RFC3339 and some documents regarding ISO 8601 I could find on the web quickly
seem to suggest that the time-offset component of the output should match the
regex /\d\d:\d\d/; date, however, matches /\d\d\d\d/.
I think --rfc-3339=seconds will do what you want.
