[Bug localedata/4628] New: Add iso 8601 date/time variants for EU countries

[nicolas dot mailhot at laposte dot net]

Iso 8601 is a clean date/time specification which is used by many people within
the EU (it has been proposed as standard to the European Commission but it has
not acted on the proposal yet)

It would be nice if there was a way to select it for locales of EU countries
(not the default as it's not the "official" format yet). In my particular case,
for France

Googling shows one workaround is to set LC_TIME as en_DK

However:
1. changing LC_TIME is not really an option in many cases (RedHat init scripts
for example only consider LANG)
2. setting LC_TIME as en_DK translates month & day names in English. What most
people want is use iso 8601 conventions for compact forms (2007-06-11, week
number, etc) and keep localised names and abbreviations

I'd really love if fr_FR.UTF-8@iso-8601 or something similar existed as locale name
