Is my Joda Time format pattern incorrect to produce a `T` and `Z` inside the parsed DateTime output?

Using Joda Time's pattern syntax below, this input string:

Sunday, January 09, 2011 6:15:00 PM

becomes this datetime:

2011-01-09T06:15:00.000Z

Code:

String start = "Sunday, January 09, 2011 6:15:00 PM";

DateTimeFormatter parser1 = 
DateTimeFormat.forPattern("EEEE, MMMM dd, yyyy H:mm:ss aa");

DateTime startTime = parser1.parseDateTime(start);

Is this format pattern incorrect? If not, what are the T and Z doing inside the DateTime output?
