module XMLRPC # :nodoc:

# This class is important to handle XMLRPC +dateTime.iso8601+ values,
# correctly, because normal UNIX-dates, ie: Date, only handle dates
# from year 1970 on, and ruby's native Time class handles dates without the
# time component.
#
# XMLRPC::DateTime is able to store a XMLRPC +dateTime.iso8601+ value correctly.
