Several people have shown the offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) with a decimal point.
ISO 8601 specifies a 4-digit number (including, if necessary), a leading zero, consisting of 2 hours digits and 2 minutes digits, not hours and decimal parts of hours. Thus, Newfoundland Time is UTC -0330, not UTC -3.5. One further point -- regarding something about which I'm also an offender from time to time. If you're in catch-up mode, it's a good idea to read the whole topic thread before replying. Someone else may already have addressed a point you're about to address -- and with an essentially identical response. Stephen Gallagher has now been corrected several times for the one error.
