--- Comment #4 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) > The timezone is a relative information that needs additional data about the > offset. I don't see how this should work. The timezone _is_ the offset. Look at my example. The user enters year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and TZ offset. This is a way to specify time, including the timezone - and it's an ISO standard. We just refuse to acknowledge it and display it. But - what if the user didn't specify the timezone, but the format calls for a timezone? Well, in that case, we use some sort of fallback. It could be UTC; or it could be the default zone for locale LC_TIME; or it could be the value in /etc/timezone - whatever. This is not problematic - it's just like when we don't have the date, only time information, we implictly choose January 1st, 1900 (but don't show it). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
