What a view date is, is by it's very nature not in a feed author's control

issued date. Your friends could want the issued date in UTC, I could want  
all three of the dates in +01:00 or +02:00 depending on time of year.   
Your boss could want the delta between created and issued, but only when  
written within your working hours.

[2] A real example: Opera's aggregator/mail program by default displays  
"Monday 13:32:25" for entries from the current week, when that entry is  
from the previous day or before.
