RE: Call for comments: HTML5.x time zone proposal [I18N-ACTION-327]

All,

I have filed a bug against HTML.next to track this request. The bug is noted in the proposal, but if you're interested in tracking developments or offering support, it is:

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26641


Comments on the proposal, of course, are still welcome.

Thanks,

Addison
