dojo.date.format, dojo.date.strftime %z sign is wrong

[anonymous]

When passing the %z formatting option to dojo.date.format or date.strftime, the result has the wrong sign. For example, calling dojo.date.format(someDate, "%z") on a PDT date will return "+07:00". It should return "-07:00".

The fix is simple. Change:

case "z": // time zone or name or abbreviation
	var timezoneOffset = dateObject.getTimezoneOffset();
	return (timezoneOffset < 0 ? "-" : "+") + 

to:

case "z": // time zone or name or abbreviation
	var timezoneOffset = dateObject.getTimezoneOffset();
	return (timezoneOffset > 0 ? "-" : "+") + 

i.e., change the < to a >

assigning to myself for 0.4 ... we need to put some real efforts into cleaning up timezones, etc.
