ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
Fractional seconds of xsd:dateTime not set correctly            
                                                                
When we use the   "create GMT date from pattern"  visual snippet
to convert a time String to GMT date, the fractional seconds is 
not set correctly when executed in runtime.                     
                                                                
For example following are the result for various inputs         
2008-04-28 15:26:27.004                                         
 <xsddateTime>2008-04-28T15:26:27.4Z</xsddateTime>

 <xsddateTime>2008-04-28T15:26:27.4Z</xsddateTime>              
2008-04-28 15:26:27.400                                         
 <xsddateTime>2008-04-28T15:26:27.4Z</xsddateTime>              
                                                                
Note the leading and trailing zeros for the fractional seconds  
have been truncated
