Greetings:
The attached patch is for normalizing timezones to zulu time.
While implementing it as prescribed for adding durations to date/times is
fine, you must reverse the timezone sign (+|-).
A negative timezone indicates time behind zulu and must be added to reach
zulu time and the opposite for positive timezones.
See http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#date for a more detailed description.
Enjoy.
