FWIW, I have the following code or variations thereof sprinkled
throughout several libraries I maintain:

(let ((stamp (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z" time)))
  (format "%s:%s" (substring stamp 0 -2) (substring stamp -2)))

Adding the ability for format-time-string to produce the tz colon
would be great.
