Yup!

Nope!
The new format will be the UTC time at the moment of zone generation encoded as the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
... and not as YYYYMMDDHHMMSS or any contracted version thereof!
Um, isn't the serial number in a zone file read in by BIND as a standard integer? If so, then 2004010101 (date format serial) would be > 1076370400 (UTC serial number) when compared wouldn't it as they are both 10 digit integers.....?
And from the stupid question file, is 1912 a standard? (RFC Editor says it is "Informational".
