I see now in the Saxon documentation that time zones are poorly executed in
the spec.

Should I just forget about timezones for now?  I found them useful to show
which timezone printed the document, but it is not essential.

Im getting unexpected results with this using Saxon 8 to transform

       <xsl:value-of select="format-dateTime(
current-dateTime(),'[M01]/[D01]/[Y0001] [h]:[m01] [Pn] [Zn] [z]')"/>

       06/03/2006 2:08 p.m. mst GMT-7

The unexpected part is that I have my XP Pro windows time zone set to
Pacific =  pst GMT  8

If I change my time zone to Mountain = mst GMT -7 then I get  cst GMT -6.

This is all off by one zone.  Am I doing something wrong?
