    In some reason date.format doesn't account Time zone.
    Example:
    let now1 = date.changetimezone( date.new(2010, 7, 7, 0, 0, 0), "+3:00" );
    <br/> now1;
    <br/> date.format(now1,"dd/MM/yy");

    It is giving me:
    Wed, 07 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +03:00
    06/07/10

    Which value to believe in?
