The date 2004-12-31T23:00:00+00:00 is exactly the same date as 2005-01-01T00:00:00+01:00, where the +01:00 is your (and my) home time zone. If no time zone is shown, then your home time zone applies.

All calibre dates are timezone aware. You could argue that some dates should be time zone naive (unknown time zone), but that doesn't change the fact that they are not. It is not calibre's problem that sigil cannot read timezone-aware UTC dates, which is what calibre is producing. It should either keep the timezone or convert the date to local time + naive (no time zone).
