> The NMSTimestamp property has been changed from long to DateTime - which is a good thing. However, the DateTime is currently being adjusted to localtime before being returned to the client - which is probably not ideal.  The DateTime struct does not contain timezone information, therefore the programmer has to make some assumption about what timezone the time is expressed in.  A UTC time is more in-keeping with the JMS specification - which specifies that Timestamp is a normal Java time i.e. expressed in GMT.  This article from Microsoft also suggests using UTC as a common time where possible: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/datetimecode.asp
