Hi there -
I was using XML::Feed, and I noticed that the DateTime object from Atom
feeds is always in UTC. It's the right time, it just loses the timezone
offset, which is useful to know - you can figure out what timezone the
original author was in when he wrote a piece, for example.
From what I can tell, XML::Feed::Entry::Format::Atom is using the iso2dt
function from XML::Atom::Util - looking at the code, you can see it
discards the original timezone, and instead sets the dt object to be
UTC.

Just thought I'd let you know. Thanks!
