Hope Alex will answer this, below is my own understanding of

Could you explicitly describe the problem you think this solves, and
how your proposal solves it?
Hmm... the first paragraph at original message explains it
Problem is that for some reasons different clients want to receive
timestamp with timezone in different formats. How is it solved - suppose
the rest of original text was about it.
Or I and Vlad do not understand your question?
The "From discussion in a thread "Could not find acceptable ICUlibrary"
it's getting clear that we can not satisfy all requirements to time with
timezone fields (when exchanging client/server messages) in single
format because they (requirements) are too contradictory. Suggested
solution is use of flexible format letting each client to receive data
from the server in a best fit way."
Doesn't actually describe the problem this design intends to address,
just that there are "contradictory [requirements]". It would be helpful
to explicitly state which requirements the design fulfills and how. That
way, we don't need to read between the lines and infer our own
interpretation.
