As I've posted earlier, Funambol's vcal parser sticks the UTC/GMT (Z)  
suffix on the end of every time, even if the device supplies local  
(most of the time they will, for example a lot of phones don't know  
their timezone). Embedding the timezone and specifying all times are  
in that zone keeps non-Funambol clients happy.

Anyway, the connector will now be sending out GMT times, but trial  
and error will be needed so the converters can correct the time for  
devices.
