XF 2.3 Templater - working with dates and localization

Is there a document that covers best practices for working with dates in templates with xenforo?

The date function doesn't seem to honor timezone, but date_time does?

With date, you can specify the traditional PHP format options, but date_time seems to have its own format? Does date_time always assume relative time or does it format a constant format like M j, Y g:i A.

Or should I be using <xf:date time="{$timestamp}" />?

What I'm looking for PHP's date format, but with the flexibility to specify what format the time should be output, but also honoring the end-user's timezone.
