timezone format does not comply with iso_8601

[marcinrybacki]

I want to format date to pass to web service. This is sample conversion.

var res = locale.format(date, {datePattern: "yyyy-MM-ddZ", selector: "date"});

This would return such string: 2012-03-15+0100 IMO this format is incorrent and should comply with ISO 8601 format so in this case date should be returned as 2012-03-15+01:00

Please look at ​http://www.lyberty.com/meta/iso_8601.htm or ​http://books.xmlschemata.org/relaxng/ch19-77041.html

In order to retain backward compatiblity we may not destroy existing solution, but use ZZ convention instead.

var res = locale.format(date, {datePattern: "yyyy-MM-ddZZ", selector: "date"});

Will produce 2012-03-15+01:00

For ISO dates, please use dojo/date/stamp. It should be exactly the format you require, and the code is lighter and faster.

datePattern follows the Java Date format spec which uses RFC822
