Hi, Alessandro Would it be worth noting somewhere, that these two implementations of ISO8601 differ? Because I needed the DateTime::ATOM way to save the timezone ... Even so the other one was also about ISO 8601 ... My system is working towards a search-engine called ElasticSearch. This one makes use of a Java method to format a date. This one is defined here: http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/api-release/org/joda/time/format/ISODateTimeFormat.html#dateOptionalTimeParser%28%29 The definition for a time-offset is defined like this: offset = 'Z' | (('+' | '-') HH [':' mm [':' ss [('.' | ',') SSS]]]) Is there a format, you know of, that makes this difference (colon or not) bullet-prove?
