/**
 * DateTimeItem used for filtering. This component adds the ability to returns
 * its date and time value a Integer offset of the current Date. For instance,
 * yesterday would return a -1. This ability to use Integer days instead of
 * Dates provides for a more robust solution when sending Dates across the wire
 * as Date.toString() in GWT creates a date format that has the local timezone
 * in it. GWT is not able to parse these dates with the local timezone in them.
 * GWT only knows how to parse RFC and GMT dates.
