RE: format-dateTime()

I wouldn't recommend using Zn. There isn't enough information in the XPath
xs:dateTime data type to establish a time zone name (for example GMT-7 might
be MST or PDT, even if you know that you're talking about timezones in North
America).

Surely at this time of year, Pacific time is GMT-7?
