The `appendOffset` spec reads: If the specified pattern is "+HH", the presence of colons is determined by whether the character after the hour digits is a colon or not. Among the supported patterns, only "+HH" (and I believe "+H" too) take the colons optional in lenient mode, i.e, both "+02:00" and "+0200" are allowed, which suits the ISO 8601 offset format. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/26708#discussion_r2283644271
