Hi,
apparently
(http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/7110/monitor-a-file-with-tail-with-timestamps-added)
date supports -I switch, but it's undocumented.

I found it in sources, and it seems to be related to iso format, but
still - adding it to documentation would be nice.

Best regards,

depesz
