JSON encodeDate time zone

[badgerb1]

Is there a reason that the timezone or at least the offset isn't included in the JSON encodeDate by default?

Just curious if I'm missing something by overriding it since it's a global override.

Thanks

Ext.JSON.encodeDate(new Date())

returns

2012-05-28T09:03:30

encodeDate method is:

    this.encodeDate = function(o) {
        return '"' + o.getFullYear() + "-" 
        + pad(o.getMonth() + 1) + "-"
        + pad(o.getDate()) + "T"
        + pad(o.getHours()) + ":"
        + pad(o.getMinutes()) + ":"
        + pad(o.getSeconds()) + '"';
    };

Right, I was just wondering why the timezone isn't in the default implementation? Seems like if you are using JSON you are likely transmitting it to somewhere and that somewhere would want the timezone included. I could see it if it was UTC(GMT) time so you could assume that but it's not.

I just didn't want to override encodeDate to include timezone and then wind up messing up a bunch of things since it's a global function.
