[date] ISO-8601 date format

[JL Lacroix]

Hello,

To convert a date into the full ISO-8601 format one can do this:

     $ date --iso-8601=seconds --date "sun oct 1 5:45:02PM"

It will correctly returns:

     2006-10-01T17:45:02+0200

But when we want to convert a ISO-8601 formated date into a man readable format:

     $ date --date "2006-10-01T17:45:02"
Returns:
     Sun Oct  1 12:45:02 CEST 2006

     $ date --date "2006-10-01T17:45:02+0200"
Returns
     date: invalid date `2006-10-01T17:45:02+0200'

Obviously, the full ISO-8601 format is not accepted as date input format.

Any work around?
