Just some thoughts here:

So without the patch the above constructs only display the server time, but not
the configured time? If that's correct a syntax taking the timezone into
account might prove really helpful over time.

The advantage I see with using standard template toolkit operations is better
documentation and flexibility. At the moment the TT notices remain rather
unhelpful to libraries, because we lack documentation and examples (Josef++ for
his work on documentation this week)

What other formats would the new parameter support? In what kind of situations
would it be useful? I miss a 'real life example' in the test plan to make
things more clear.
