@leachimus: Nothing was wrong. Germany's time zone offset is +02:00 with CEDT (Sommerzeit), and +01:00 with CET. You might have noticed that things have changed since 31 October.

The add-on works fine under MS Windows: I have set the date format to YYYY-MM-DD and '%from(name)% scripsit (%dateshort% %date_tz%):' results in 'John Doe scripsit (2010-11-01 18:30 +0100):'.

But Mac users, beware! Changing the date format (System preferences > Language & Text > Formats Dates [Customize]) from the region's default (DD.MM.YY for Germany in my case) to YYYY-MM-DD does not change the settings for that region (which is tied with the user's preferred language – a very questionable approach, BTW), but leads to a new region 'Custom'.SmartTemplate, however, does not care about these settings, but uses the default for Germany (in my case): the same '%from(name)% scripsit (%dateshort% %date_tz%):' as above results in 'John Doe scripsit (01.11.10 18:30 +0100):'.

Is it a bug in the add-on?
