Doug (and Rachel), I've seen documents where the time in the ISA/GS is actually Universal time and not the local time zone (EST) of the sender.
It's only a single TP (as far as I remember), but it's a pain when analysing document response times. Eg. The incoming 204 is marked as 1700 which is actually 1200 EST. The outbound 997 and 990 have local times (EST).
