The value '2022-12-09-01:02:03' is a valid date-and-time value. Where
in the description of the type does it say that this date and time is
in UTC?? I believe '2022-12-09-01:02:03' is a date-and-time value
without a known timezone.

And similarly, '::1' is a valid ipv6-address. The problem seems to be
implementations that do not support '::1%lo' because either the module
author picked the wrong type or the implementer did not implement the
type correctly. The ip-address type is _not_ 'ambiguous' nor does it
'silently accept' something.
