   Nope.  It is bang on.  All my machines sync their clocks to UTC.  Doesn't   
   everybody?  Anyhow easy enough to convert.  On my regular linux box;   
      
   $ TZ=PST8PDT date --date="2026-01-19T03:31:42,219647248+00:00"

   but then it screws up a proper sort ... not that it would matter any to me.    
   What REALLY matters is that nanosecond output is doable today and, perhaps   
   when I get my hands on a hardware clock that can resolve to a nanosecond,   
   accurate to a nanosecond.  I'll need to upgrade all the networking hardware to   
   take advantage of it but by that time I'll probably want to do that anyhow.   
      
   I call it future compatibilty.
