John A. De Goes commented on AVRO-739:
--------------------------------------
Adopting UTC milliseconds as the date/time format is fundamentally wrong and
will render the type useless for any serious application. ISO8601 is the
standard format for date/time. It preserves the critical notion of timezone and
daylight savings time, and of course lets you express time in UTC as well if
that's what you want. The binary encoding is only slightly bulkier than UTC
milliseconds.
