Ole,

Offset from UTC is not a timezone... it's an identifier of a point in time.  It's intrinsically a *choice* of timezone, no better or worse than any other.

Ed, who has had the grave misfortune of having to exercise the distinction between timezones and offsets in code in anger

I'll repeat what I said last year when this happened, and what I said two years ago when this happened.
Meetings with an international crowd should be set as an offset from UTC. Not some local time zone.

(and Ray you agreed me last year too. ;-))
