Description
DateConverter normalizes time zones in restrainTZoffset(...) to a value that is between -12:00 and +12:00. So a time zone like +13:00 gets normalized to -11:00. However, the date itself is not adapted accordingly. As a result, a time stamp like "2014-7-20T05:0:00+1300" gets changed to "2014-7-20T05:0:00-1100", which is actually 24 hours later! To compensate for the time zone change, 24 hours should have been subtracted from the date: "2014-7-19T05:0:00-1100".
Personally, I'd prefer to leave the time zones untouched completely. Note that XML Schema defines time zones up to +/- 14:00 to be valid: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime-timezones. For any time zones out of that range either generate an error or consider a garbage-in-garbage-out policy.
