The date field of GET /comments should contain either a 'Z' time offset signature. #1675

Environment

WordPress: 4.3.1
WP REST API: 2.0-beta 4
Machine: Chassis with VirtualBox 4.3.28 as its VM backend

How To

Using the following snippet:

#!/bin/sh
http POST <url> author_name='Shell' \
    author_email='[email protected]' \
    author_url='http://goog.le' \
    content='wp rest api rocks!' \
    date='2015-10-22T12:00:00Z' \
    post=<pid> \
    parent=0

The date field of the response will be 2015-10-22T12:00:00, so does GET /comments.

According to the ECMAScript 2015 spec:

If the time zone offset is absent, the date-time is interpreted as a local time.

Thus, the returned date string is a local time string instead of the originally-submitted UTC time string for any browser implementing this spec.
