They're certainly not human readable, but I want to know who these people are that are reading the date times being passed around by two pieces of software.

Also, why are people passing around date times for specific timezones? Converting a UTC timestamp to local time is trivial in every language I've used. Converting a local time to another local time isn't.

It sounds to me like a problem that doesn't exist, and a solution that causes more problems. I'll be sticking with unix timestamps thank you very much.
