> The Daisy export format specifies times in the timezone of the respository.
> So for the same document, living on two different machines the export-format would contain slightly different things:
> sample:
>  <field type="MyDate" value="2007-08-09T00:00:00.000+01:00"/>
>  <field type="MyDate" value="2007-08-10T00:00:00.000+02:00"/>
> Note that in both cases the information is 'logically' the same (and thus correct) but still 'notationally' different.
> So this isn't really an issue of Daisy of course, if it weren't that we use a standard text-diffing tool to inspect changes in the exports.  So for us these notational changes cause some *noise*.
> I'ld suggest one could either specify the timezone in the export config (or cli) or, just hardcode things to UTC.
