Not all time zones are offset > from UTC by integral multiples of 1 h. I know. I was a bit provocative there. UTC + any fixed offset (with or without standard/summer time shifts) would do, as long as the offset and standard/ summer time shifts is defined. The point is that it is UTC based and not some other time. Infact, NPL had some interesting wording relating to MSF and shift between standard and summer time.
