I dunno, there are several ISO 8601 formats that 'date -I' doesn't have
a special case for now; why add these particular shorthands? If we go
down this route, shouldn't we also add shorthands for %Y%j, %GW%V,
%G-W%V-%u, etc., etc.? Where will it stop?
Instead, perhaps we should just suggest to people that they use ordinary
date formats, as standardized by POSIX. These should be more portable
anyway. -I is meant as a convenience for interactive use, and I doubt
whether people would want to use "date -Iweek" interactively much.
Given the above, and no further comments in more than a year,
I'm closing this as "wontfix".
