What does your <cf_hmac> custom tag look like?

Here is the code from my CFC which pulls data from Amazon's Alexa: You will also notice I am using a hash function custom tag which Amazon wants as well.

It needs to be URL Encoded, so I am submitting with this code: <cfhttpparam type="URL" name="Timestamp" value='#Timestamp#'> Coldfusion 8 encodes this to: 2010%2D07%2D29T20%3A45%3A33%2E517Z But when I submit the same string via http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/ref_urlencode.asp I sends back 2010-07-29T20%3A45%3A33.517Z So ColdFusion is encoding the "." and the "-", but W3C isn't. These are actually both valid in a URL. Of course, both correct encode the ":". I wouldn't care except the Amazon web service is throwing an error saying I need to use a valid ISO 8601 date. Has anyone run into a problem like this before? Is there a trick?
