Description

See test test_comparison_operators_46a()

This test doesn't override the default value for dfdl:calendarTimeZone of "", meaning unknown time zone. It fails with assertion failed about "hasTimeZone".

test test_comparison_operators_46() overrides that with dfdl:calendarTimeZone="UTC" so it passes.

Bug was undiscovered because DFDLGeneralFormat used to define dfdl:calendarTimeZone to be "UTC", but it should be "" (not defined) by default, so when changed to this, the assertion failure if no timezone defined occurs.
