Does `format-time-string' produce full/extended ISO 8601 format times?
-
Docstring of `format-time-string' states:
"For example, to produce full ISO 8601 format, use "%Y-%m-%dT%T%z"."
As best I can gather this is _not_ a 'full' ISO 8601 time string format.
Specifically, section 4.2.5.1-2 of ISO 8601:2004(E)
--
4.2.5.1 Difference between local time and UTC of day
Basic format: ±hhmm Example: +0100
±hh +01
Extended format: ±hh:mm Example: +01:00
--
4.2.5.2 Local time and the difference from UTC
Basic format: hhmmss±hhmm Example: 152746+0100
152746−0500
hhmmss±hh 152746+01
152746−05
Extended format: hh:mm:ss±hh:mm Example: 15:27:46+01:00
15:27:46−05:00
hh:mm:ss±hh 15:27:46+01
15:27:46−05

I am referencing from the .pdf available here:

Is it possible to format the UTC offset/ZONE with a colon per the
Extended format above?
On a w32 system I'm get these results:
(format-time-string "%Y-%m-%dT%T%z")
;=>"2009-07-30T18:04:56-0400"
(format-time-string "%Y-%m-%dT%T,%u%z")
;=>"2009-07-30T18:04:36,4-0400"
(format-time-string "%Y-%m-%dT%T,%u%z" nil t)
"2009-07-30T22:05:47,4+0000Z"
(format-time-string "%Y-%m-%dT%T,%u%z" (current-time) t)
;=>"2009-07-30T22:06:10,4+0000"
