What is intended is 2014-09-24T12:00-04:00 (noon, "Eastern > Daylight Time").
Microsoft's calendaring stuff does that. I keep getting stuff that says it's at (say) 10:00 UTC, plus "the UTC offset doesn't take account of daylight savings time", when what it means is 10:00 BST. Even worse is the ones that say 10:00 UTC+01:00, which actually mean 09:00 BST. -- Clive D.W. Feather | If you lie to the compiler, Email: cl...@davros.org | it will get its revenge.
