Oh, I see. I had assumed that you can already convert to RFC 3339 using
Emacs' built-in date and time functions. I guess it would be a matter of
introducing those to Emacs then via a patch, though I'm not sure how
exactly the code for converting time to a string works in regards to
different formats, and it doesn't seem like a simple format string would
do.

Thanks for the quick response!
