Dear GNU maintainer/team/email-dude,
in thre process of writing an Atom-feed-generator in bash, I discovered what
MIGHT be a bug/documentation misinterpretation in GNU date's --iso-8601
switch when invoked with ns or seconds as a parameter.
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/.
As said, I don't know if the actual ISO 8601 standard specifies that as fair
game, as I don't know where I could take a look at it - but it might not harm
investigating if you aren't completely sure about the correct behaviour
either...
Anyway, thanks for taking the time and making coreutils available to us mere
mortals in the first place - happy hacking! :-)
