Re: date not parsing full iso-8601

I added some comments to bug 11290
(https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=11290) which
pertains to this issue.

It would seem that GNU date should simply dispense with emitting the `T'
between the date and time field in IOS 8601 mode until the parsing of this
particular format is supported. The `T' is optional according to the standard
and currently only hampers deployment of the IOS 8601 format without at the
same time providing any clear benefit.

Please consider removing the `T' from the iso_format_strings.
