XEP-0363 now states: > The format of the timestamp MUST adhere to the date-time format specified in &xep0082; and MUST be expressed in UTC.
I see a recent trend where people believe that XEP-0882 timestamps should always be in UTC. I think that approach has zero benefits and major drawbacks. Given that there are a dozen XEPs in the wild that don't have the "timestmap must be given in UTC" restriction, your XMPP implementation will need a timezone aware parser anyways. And the introduction of another constraint only increases the possibility that someone does it wrong. I'm pretty sure we will see a least one XEP-0363 implementation that does not follow this, and does not use UTC as the timestamps timezone. Hence I believe that interoperability will be hurt. - Florian
