After all, why bother with abbreviated denotations at all? GMT+3 might nicely do for Europe/Minsk etc. IIRC UTC and not GMT is the basis for most time legislation that is currently in place.

Agreed. Which could lead to the question who are the users? The Theory file does not make any statement about that. I thought people when communicating between geographic areas with different offset observance might use it. I.e. not people "on the street" within an area observing same offset rules. -- Tobias Conradi Rheinsberger Str. 18 10115 Berlin Germany http://tobiasconradi.com/tobias_conradi
