To me, UTC-1 looks too much like a traditional Unix TZ value with negated offset, leading to possible confusion about the direction of the offset. My personal preference would be to use the ±HHMM format (with non-negated offsets), as that is more recognizable as an offset. On 24 August 2016 12:40:16 p.m. Robert Elz <kre@munnari.OZ.AU> wrote:

I am not a fan of this change in general, I think UTC-1 is both more common, and less ambiguous than -01 (from the latter it isn't even obvious that the expression has anything to do with time offsets) but this change in particular ...
