Subject: [ruby-core:66779] [ruby-trunk - Bug #10587] [Open] Time#to_json != DateTime#to_json (Time#to_json not outputting iso8601)

Issue #10587 has been reported by Patric Mueller.

----------------------------------------
Bug #10587: Time#to_json != DateTime#to_json (Time#to_json not outputting iso8601)
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10587

* Author: Patric Mueller
* Status: Open
* Priority: Low
* Assignee: 
* Category: ext
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13 revision 48405) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
The output of this program is false:
```
require 'date'
require 'json'
now = Time.now
puts now.to_json == DateTime.parse(now.to_s).to_json
```

Testing in IRB shows why:
```
2.1.5 :004 > now.to_json
 => "\"2014-12-11 10:34:53 +0100\""
2.1.5 :005 > DateTime.parse(now.to_s).to_json
 => "\"2014-12-11T10:34:53+01:00\""
```

Time#to_json doesn't return an iso8601 conforming string whereas DateTime@to_json does.
