Hi Derick.

This is not the correct thing to do, as you will lose timezone information. The W3C format only stores UTC offsets (in the form of +00:00). However, that same UTC offset can be used in different areas with different DST changes. Best thing is to store in Unix timestamps.And how does a unix timestamp preserve timezone information? Or am I completely off track? Regards, Karsten
