[TYPO3] List Module Date/time Field Strangeness

[Lucas Thurston]

Turns out I knew the answer all along, for some reason I got hung up on 
it though.  The list view is rendered by the server, and the timestamp 
is converted to a date/time field relative to its timezone.  The form 
input value, however, is rendered as a date/time field by client-side 
javascript, and thus relative to my timezone.  How embarrassing...
