This it looking great thanks.
Your examples look like a great set of tests.
Couple of nits in my very quick scan:

Better to use TZ="..." as single quotes are not supported in that context

BTW the repeated "date: " strings look a little redundant/non generic.
Perhaps they could be replaced with just ": " or something.
Also none of these new strings are marked for translation
(the module would then have to depend on gettext-h)
