------------------------------------------
Summary: DFDLGeneralFormat defines calendarTimeZone as UTC -
should define as ""
Key: DAFFODIL-1930
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1930
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Front End
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Reporter: Michael Beckerle
Fix For: 2.2.0
Because DFDLGeneralFormat.dfdl.xsd defines calendarTimeZone="UTC" dates like
"7/4/1999" come through in the infoset as 1999-07-04+00:00, that is, with the
trailing time-zone specifier.
The right definition for calendarTimeZone for a general purpose format is "",
which means "time zone unknown".
This avoids the need for all users of DFDLGeneralFormat who have dates to
override calendarTimeZone themselves to "" value, and puts the burden on them
to define it if they know and want a default time zone.
Note: changing this will likely change the behavior of dateTime type as well as
the date type, and we should not be taking time zone information or defaults
from the local machine settings.
