Well, it's wasting some effort. You just have to decrement the count that you get back. It's not impossible to deal with, but it just has that anomalous feeling of 'struct tm' from the C standard library - day of month is 1-31, but month of year is 0-11. The true anomaly is the day of month, which ought to be 0-30 to parallel the hour/minute/second, but civil time is usually displayed starting from 1 in the day and month, and it feels weird to have it come out differently. WriteUtf8 can logically be explained as returning the count of bytes written, but 'most every other function that does this sort of job won't count the null.
