I still understand that it should be job of underlying system functions. Org is only invoking addition by using system time: >From Org timestamp with time zone one has to use system functions, to add, or deduct time, then again to Org time representation. > 2. A user asks +1w date shift and the time zone has a 1-day jump during DST? > what about +7d? +1d? That is all for system functions to know. Is not good on the higher level (of Org) to start deciding about international issues that shall be recorded in C libraries somewhere, time zone databases, etc -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
