[TYPO3-mvc] format.date not converting from timestamp?

[Sy Moen]

thanks guys... this was stupid on my part. I had already tried 
pre-pending the @, but I must not have cleared the cache because it 
didn't work. Anyway... general unfamiliarity with extbase I think.

In trying to figure out this issue, I also came across the "timezone 
problem," (Michael Sauter, [1] - [4]) but I guess it seems that the 
timezone is inherent to the viewer... like the point is not to attach a 
timezone, but rather a geo-location to the data, abstracting other 
necessary data from the two.

I guess the point is that DateTime can / does store the tz with the time 
info, but... maybe the idea of storing the lat/long as well as the time 
will become more intrinsic as flow3 develops. In any case, that is the 
way every other major data service on the planet seems to be heading.
