Should we just add XX:XX as an alternative time zone offset format accepted by %z and %Z? Is this a standard format?

Yes, this is standard; see below.

I'm not sure, but I am getting this date from Google in their XML feeds representing calendar data. The specific element is "gd:when", documented here:

http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/elements.html#gdWhen

That refers to XML Schema; the dateTime type in XML Schema is standardized here: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#dateTime (and time zone offsets are required to have a colon in this format). Carl Witty
