Timezone in feeds

Description

Now all the feeds send all the times in GMT. It would be nice if the actual publish time was also preserved.

In both RSS2 and Atom time zones are allowed, because they use rfc822 and rfc3339 dates.

The issue was first spotted by Peio Popov.

Has this been tested with any feedreaders anywhere? Every feed I've ever seen *only* uses GMT/UTC for the dates. I believe older formats required it, while newer ones just point at the relevant RFC's.

While technically you could put in a non GMT date, I'd be concerned about compatibility with the readers.

I think the user's timezone choice should be respected. However, I am not sure if the patch is suitable as PHP >=5.1 has built-in timezone support.

  • Type changed from defect (bug) to feature request

The user's timezone choice is irrelevant for feeds, since the purpose of the time in the feed is to show when the post was made. Timezone plays no part in showing that time. The time of the post is the same regardless of what zone it's represented in.
