ISO 8601 does not specify the time zone alignment of calendar days. It allows you to identify a date in the abstract without being specific about time of day, or to explicitly describe a 24 hour period using the interval representation. > If one wishes to specify the time, does the standard recommend 23:02Z over > 07:03, or are they on an equal footing? Those are different things. A time without a UTC designator or UTC difference is a local time in an unspecified time zone.
