Dear xsl-list,

I'm trying to produce a formatted date with time zone (as a signed numerical value). Here's a stripped-down example:


I'm running on Centos 5.5 with the system clock set to UTC:


[djb@obdurodon tmp]$ date
Thu Jul 14 03:54:16 UTC 2011

I thought the xslt would produce "+0000" at the end of the dateTime instead of "Z". Is that assumption wrong?


Yes, I'm afraid so. The spec isn't very prescriptive on this. You can find a discussion in gory detail at
