If your problem is specifically with Time Zones, in hCalendar you can
use the ISO datetime[1]

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS-ZZZZ
2006-08-23T21:45:00-0600

the transformating application will normalize that to a UTC time
2006-08-24T03:45:00Z

Which is a valid datetime for iCalendar

If that is not mentioned on the wiki, as you make your updates please
add that as well.

Thanks,

The  hCalendar examples on http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar#Example have
punctuation, eg.

  yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss

which is more like RFC3339 (and better for both humans and machines, IMHO -- the
timezone descriptors in RFC2445 are awful!)

This appears to be a deliberate hCalendar design decision, according to Note 4 
in
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar#Human_vs._Machine_readable  On the other 
hand,
the examples on http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar-examples have no 
punctuation.


Is it correct to say that the hCalendar date-time format is specified by 
RFC3339? If
so, I'd like to amend the Wiki pages to explicitly state the correct hCalendar 
date-
time format, referencing RFC3339.

Also, there is a scarcity of examples with times on the hCalendar page -- I'd 
like to
add at least one meeting example with a start and end time.

Finally, there's a bunch of "@todo" items on the examples page.  If no-one else 
is
working on those I could whip up a few.
