Description

When the default time zone offset has a non-zero minute component, this bug causes the date-time() to return a string that is not a valid xsd:dateTime.

For example, when the default time zone is IST, then the format looks like:

2011-04-19T22:08:16+05:1800000

It is expected to be

2011-04-19T22:08:16+05:30
