sb-rss.el and ISO 8601 date

Hallo,
while hacking on a shimbun backend I stumbled over a site[1] whose rss
date format didn't get parsed properly by sb-rss.el:
"2004-06-13T01:55+0200"
sb-rss.el says:
;; make Date string from ISO 8601 date format. See
;; http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime.
Above date is a correct[2] ISO 8601 date, but W3C seems to command an
additional colon in the timezone.
The patch below makes sb-rss.el also accept the ISO 8601 version
without colon, without introducing ambiguity.
thanks
Andreas
