Coreutils 'date' command does not display date in the format mandated by LC_TIME.

To reproduce:
1) set locale to UN_DK.utf8. Time locale can be chosen with 'export LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8' or by choosing "English (Danish)" in gdm login screen.
2) $ locale|grep TIME
LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8
3) $ date
Mon Mar 13 10:23:30 EET 2006

It should show the time in international ISO-8601 format, something like 'date --iso=min': "2006-03-13T10:26+0200"
