No, I think the canonical format needs to stay wire compatible, but the document could at least say "there's a messy thing here". I think we're stuck with -00:00 and +00:00 being out there; and their meanings not changing. It's more the meaning of 'Z' which seems to more often be aligned with '-00:00' in practice; rather than '+00:00'.
