Hey Maurice!

 MK> Note that I've returned to the system's datetime which is UTC
 MK> - is there anything else?

No.  This node stuck with UTC and continues to do so including the corrected
DateTime stamp which for the record is rfc-3339 compliant.  The nanoseconds is
a nice touch methinks and is definetly both forwards as well as backwards
compatible depending on how far back backwards truly is.

 MK> am using the topline to correct for PST8PDT which given the

No such problem when both formats are UTC as demonstrated by this reply,
although the FTN two digit year remains as corruptable as it always was and
always will be.

 MK> That being said the two digit year DateTime stamp really needs

I couldn't have said that better myself.

Life is good,
Maurice
