i don’t recall what the original need was.

werc’s blagh app generates an atom feed, which needs rfc3339 dates, and an rss feed, which needs rfc2822 dates. 9front’s date -m is good for rfc2822.

but since werc is targeted at the lowest common denominator p9p, i implemented 9front date -m and -t as rc functions in werclib.rc. i noticed the rfc3339 vs iso-8601 discrepancy when atom.tpl still failed to validate atom feeds. so, werclib.rc/^fn ndate now has flags -a for rfc3339, -t for iso-8601, and -m for rfc2822. i kept -t for now (it’s just an echo statement) in case somebody needs it later.
