The ISO format is already in use in syslogd via the -Z option for about 
10 years.

I had been using the syslogd default local time timestamps, but I wanted 
a format in the log record that would sort properly.

The -Z option gives me the format specified in RFC 5424, but I wanted to 
use the default local time and not UTC.  That is the purpose of the patch.

I mentioned the benefit of this feature in another message.

But, since the ship has sailed, I'll leave it there.

Thanks for your reply.
