[Xen-API] question regarding Event.timestamp field

["Aggarwal, Ajay" <Ajay.Aggarwal@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

While looking at the traffic between XenCenter and XenServer 5.5,  I see that in all other places such as Task.created, Task.finished, VM.snapshot_time etc., the ‘datetime’ type of field comes on wire as a <dateTime.iso8601> element, e.g.

 

<Task>

   ….

    <name>created</name>

    <value><dateTime.iso8601>20090806T17:52:13Z</dateTime.iso8601></value>

</Task>

 

However the Event.timestamp field, which is also of type ‘datetime’ as per the Xen API specs, comes as integer looking string

 

<Event>

  …

   <name>timestamp</name>

   <value>1249581133.</value>

</Event>

 

I was wondering why. Also what’s the dot at the end of that number?
