format.date has a timezone problem. From your timestamp your timezone 
offset will be substracted/added before outpout - if you calculate with 
it, you may apply these offset several times. (DateTimes does this at 
every constructor vall from a timestamp).

Therefore, make your own Date Viewhelper and use strftime or date - if 
you do not need localisation.
