Found a bug in Delphi 7
I got irritated with Delphi 7's SOAP implementation today. I was wondering why their XML code didn't produce the correct xs:datetime values with a local-bias for South Africa. So I filed bug# 9547 on Borland's Quality Central site.
The function DateTimeToXMLTime and XMLTimeToDateTime in XSBuiltIns.pas don't apply a local-bias for time-zones without transition times for daylight savings. e.g. South Africa uses GMT+2 (Harare, Pretoria) but we don't use daylight savings and therefore have no transition dates. The GetTimeZoneInformation API function is documented in the Platform SDK.
