Ouch.
This is probably something we need to discuss further.
Dear All,
There is potential confusion coming from the different interpretations
of the time zone offsets used in ISO8601 and POSIX TZ specs:
This is unfortunate indeed. I'd tend to pick one and not to allow
both, out of fear of counfusion. And if I had to pick one, I'd pick
ISO, which I've seen more often in the wild. But this might quite
well be some sort of bias.
Cheers
Same for me, I usually see ISO offset. Further, I am used to exchange
time designations (CET, EST, PDT,...) instead of [continent/city]
timezone names. My impression is that many of non experts like me don't
know in which time zone they are living. Is it trivial to find the
[continent/city] timezone name to a specific place?
best, Heinz
