Carsten, is there a typo?

Former: "Section 4.3 of [RFC3339] states that an offset given as Z or +00:00
implies that "UTC is the preferred reference point for the specified time".

Latter: "The offset -00:00 is provided as a way to express that "the time in 
UTC is known, but the offset to local time is unknown".

It seems that the -00:00 notation is the "latter", instead it ?

I've seen +00:00 and -00:00 regularly in email.
(Actually, I didn't know what -00:00 meant until I read this.  It seems
pretty common when email originates through Outlook.com)
