Right, didn't realise there was enough zeros to reach the seconds ;)

This is not exactly the same format. W3C format would be
2006-01-08T22:14:12.196485000+01:00
(no space, much better for loads of stupid scripts)
And combined with -u it would give
2006-01-08T22:14:12.196485000Z
not
2006-01-08 22:14:12.196485000+00:00
