            Bug ID: 13176
           Summary: The date applet incorrectly forms ISO8601 values for
                    UTC
           Product: Busybox
           Version: 1.31.x
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: Standard Compliance
          Assignee: unassigned at busybox.net
          Reporter: mrjoel at lixil.net
                CC: busybox-cvs at busybox.net
  Target Milestone: ---

When requested to generate a UTC date in the ISO 8601 format with a time
component included, an incorrect zone offset suffix is used.

When ran as "date --utc -Iseconds" (or hours/minutes), a formatted value is
generated which includes "UTC" as the timezone suffix which is non-compliant
with the standard as a timezone designator. Either of a "Z" or "+00:00" suffix
would work.

Instead of the incorrect:
    2020-08-28T23:46:55UTC

Should generate one of the correct values as:
    2020-08-28T23:46:55Z
    2020-08-28T23:46:55+00:00
