Sorry.  I've been using the links from our TextMate maintainer's  
discussions.

The content at the above link is:

require "date"

# this is basically what xmlrpc/create.rb does (line 244)
def conv2value(param)
   p case param
   when Date
     format("%.4d%02d%02dT00:00:00", param.year, param.month, param.day)
   when Time
     param.strftime("%Y%m%dT%H:%M:%S")
   end
end

conv2value(DateTime.now)         # problem one: this has the time  
part truncated
conv2value(Time.new)             # problem two: this is NOT converted  
to UTC

print DateTime.now.new_offset(0) # this is the time in UTC, which is  
what we should send to the server
