But by TimeZone I mean a fixed offset to UTC, so perhaps TimeOffset is a better name.
Yes, something like that. (Maybe TimeZoneOffset?) #g -- Apropos nothing in particular, I'm reminded of another wrinkle with leap seconds: it's only in the 'Z' timezone that the leap second is inserted/removed at about 23:59:59. In other timezones it occurs at the appropriate offset from this time, so they happen all around the world in synchrony, avoiding strange variations between timezone offsets. ------------ Graham Klyne For email: http://www.ninebynine.org/#Contact
