UTC, yes. UT? UT a.k.a. Universal Time" is deliberately ambiguous: it refers to all the UTx variants together. Are you sure of that?
It depends on who you talk to, but that's the sense I intended. You can see similar usages in the Collins English dictionary and in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Time#Versions http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/universal-time I take your point that some sources are stricter, and say that UT must be UT0 or UT1 (or maybe UT1R or UT2...), so I suppose it's yet another term that is controversial to some extent.
