Timex.DateFormat.Formats
This module defines all known (by timex) common date/time formats, in macro form.
Each format is returned as the following structure:
[tokenizer:
These formats are consumed by the datetime string parsers, by first tokenizing the chosen format, then parsing the datetime string using those tokens.
Summary↑

From the specification (RE: timezones):
Time zone may be indicated in several ways. “UT” is Univer- sal Time (formerly called “Greenwich Mean Time”); “GMT” is per- mitted as a reference to Universal Time. The military standard uses a single character for each zone. “Z” is Universal Time. “A” indicates one hour earlier, and “M” indicates 12 hours ear- lier; “N” is one hour later, and “Y” is 12 hours later. The letter “J” is not used. The other remaining two forms are taken from ANSI standard X3.51-1975. One allows explicit indication of the amount of offset from UT; the other uses common 3-character strings for indicating time zones in North America.
Same as rfc_822, but locked to universal time.
