We are talking about two different things here, and I feel they are being 
mixed up; to clarify:

- The datetime will always be UTC -which is the "payload" if you will,

- The datetime /format/ is set to Zulu notation now, and the consideration is 
to make that rfc3339 compatible -which is the "notation format", if you will.

Kind regards,
