Alexander Klimetschek commented on JCR-2619:
--------------------------------------------

It should support all values that a Calendar object can have, including any 
timezone offset. The maximum that I know is +14, so having the timezone running 
from -15h to +15h, which would be -900 to +900 minutes, should cover every case.

>
> DATE values are currently internally represented as java.util.Calendar 
> objects.
> Calendar objects have a huge memory footprint (approx 200bytes per instance) 
> and are mutable.
> i suggest to replace the internal DATE representation with a ISO8601 format 
> string
> (immutable and approx. 85-90% smaller footprint).
