- ISO 8601 is paywalled
- RFC allows a space instead of a T (e.g. 2020-12-09 16:09:...) which is nicer to read.

But
$(date)does return a string with spaces, at least on every system I've ever used. And what's so bad about the possibility of spaces in filenames? They're slightly inconvenient in a command line, but I haven't used a commuter this century that didn't support spaces in filenames.Bro, literally re-read the comment you replied to. It has an example of what might happen.
Ok, I just reread it. I don't see what you think I'm missing. You mean an improperly written find command misbehaving? The fact that a different date format could prevent a bug from manifesting doesn't seem like much of an argument.
