Even ISO-8601 is stupid. The only reasonable format is YYYYMMDDHHMMSS with ##0\leq HH \leq 23.##
No reason for any minuses.

I've heard of more radical proposals that time zones themselves be eliminated. Not sure how well that would work.

So do we permantly spring forward, or forever fall backward? Inquiring minds want to know.

(BTW, I agree it would be best to not keep changing back and forth, but I don't know which of the two choices is best...)

Or, as DuMaurier (Fake Philosopher name) put it in his 1721 treatise: " Don't Need no Stinkin Philosophy).

BTW, Philosophy was originally a treatise on people with first name 'Phil'.
