Nope.  It is bang on.  All my machines sync their clocks to UTC.  Doesn't
everybody?  Anyhow easy enough to convert.  On my regular linux box;

$ TZ=PST8PDT date --date="2026-01-19T03:31:42,219647248+00:00"
2026-01-18T19:31:42,219647248-08:00

but then it screws up a proper sort ... not that it would matter any to me. 
What REALLY matters is that nanosecond output is doable today and, perhaps
when I get my hands on a hardware clock that can resolve to a nanosecond,
accurate to a nanosecond.  I'll need to upgrade all the networking hardware to
take advantage of it but by that time I'll probably want to do that anyhow.

I call it future compatibilty.

Дуже груви,
