Ah I was not implying a format when I said UTC, any format that is a
recognized standard is fine by me.

I can only note that "number of sencods since X" maybe a little easier
to parse from a text field that 8601, but I am in no way in love with
that way to represent a date in time. As long as the date format
represents UTC+offset I am fine.

Simo.
