Use RFC3339 for lastUpdate field of support resource

Is it possible to change the lastUpdate field of /.well-known/gpc.json to RFC3339, rather than ISO8601?

The ISO8601 spec is behind a pay wall, which makes it difficult for implementers (particularly parsers) to know what possible values the lastUpdate field can take.

RFC3339 is a "profile" of ISO8601, so essentially describes the same thing, but is freely available, simpler/more specific, and is specifically intended as the "date and time format for use in Internet protocols".

Thanks, @braedon! That seems even better. @darobin, what do you think?

Please also add "be" to the following sentence:

 MUST an ISO 8601 date

Also, need a reference for either RFC 3339 or ISO 8601.

Thanks, @braedon and @seanturner. I changed the spec to RFC3339 and fixed the typo.
