3.1.2 Date
The Date header is the same as that specified in Sections 3.3 and
3.6.1 of [RFC2822] with the added restrictions detailed in Section
2.2. However, the use of "UT" and "GMT" as time zones (part of
<obs-zone>), although deprecated, is widespread in news articles
today. Therefore, agents MUST accept <date-time> constructs which
include the updated <zone> construct below.
orig-date = "Date:" SP date-time CRLF
zone = (( "+" / "-" ) 4DIGIT) / "UT" / "GMT"
Note that agents SHOULD NOT generate <date-time> constructs which
include either "UT" or "GMT" and MUST NOT generate <date-time>
constructs which include any other zone names defined by <obs-zone>,
some of which have ambiguous interpretations and would have adverse
effects on Netnews protocols.
Also note that these requirements apply wherever <date-time> is used,
including Injection-Date and Expires in Section 3.1.7 and Section
3.2.3 respectively.
