Joe, The date formatters (ABSOLUTE, DATE and ISO8601) format the date as a local time. The simple date formatter accepts any DateTimeFormattingInfo date pattern. Looking at the .NET docs for this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/h tml/frlrfsystemglobalizationdatetimeformatinfoclasstopic.asp
It looks like the 'U' pattern may convert the time from local to universal time before displaying it. Failing that you would need to write a new layout that output what you needed. The pattern layout in 1.2 beta 8 is not extensible, but in the current CVS head it should be very easy to add another pattern that converts to UTC before rendering the date.
