W3CDTF doesn't use standard time zones -- it uses +/-hh:mm to designate the time zone. I'm not sure what would be more accurate, except for adding seconds (which I don't think there are any time zones that do...). So I don't think there's any accuracy lost. -- [ "Aaron Swartz" ; <mailto:me@aaronsw.com> ; <http://www.aaronsw.com/> ]
