> Im currently doing some things with dates in Sling that involve timezones and 
> I find that the documentation regarding it is not particularly clear.
> according to 
> https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/manipulating-content-the-slingpostservlet-servlets-post.html#date-properties
> several formats are defined. 
> I found that the only format that saves a provided timezone is the ISO8601 
> format, rest of them relies in a Date object, which does not have timezones. 
> Could this be clearly stated?
> Also, the ISO8601 parser is problematic. It relies on the Jackrabbit parser 
> which uses format "±YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSSTZD", but according to 
> http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime the ISO format does not have milliseconds 
> on it ("SSS"). So it is very hard to find a way to keep the timezone 
> information (I had to dig through the code to figure it out)
> Could we please replace ISO8601 with the actual format 
> "±YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSSTZD" so it is clearer?
