Comment:

 Unfortunately we've found that some clients are extremely sensitive to the
 contents of the dateCreated field.  To the extent even that adding time
 zone info will actually break some of them.

 What we ended up doing is adding a new field, date_created_gmt, that is
 always GMT by definition, even if there is no time zone info provided.

 If you are interested in XML-RPC features/issues/etc then I recommend
 joining the wp-xmlrpc email list:

 http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-xmlrpc

 This is where this exact date issue has hashed out (along with
 tickets/patches here in Trac).
