It seems you are using an older version of coreutils.  On my Fedora 18
beta box, I see:

$ date --help | grep -- -I
  -I[TIMESPEC], --iso-8601[=TIMESPEC]  output date/time in ISO 8601 format.
$ date --version | head -n1
date (GNU coreutils) 8.17

and looking back in git history, it looks like documentation was
re-added at commit 2f1384b in Oct 2011, once we gave date the ability to
parse the 'T' separator in ISO dates.
