    <thetext>2.5.5.7 Global dates and times
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/single-page.html#global-dates-and-times

This defines a &apos;global date and time&apos;, which is the same as a &apos;local date and time&apos;, only with a time zone representation. I propose changing the &apos;local&apos; value to use the term &apos;floating&apos; (since it is not truly local). The term &apos;global&apos; could remain. I would also suggest adding a reference to w3.org/TR/timezone (our note) to help users understand when to use which type.</thetext>

    <thetext>My plan for this bug is to add the reference to w3.org/TR/timezone and change the &quot;local date and time&quot; section to &quot;floating date and time&quot; (which section is still needed by the HTMLTimeElement, regardless of removing the &lt;input type=&quot;datatime-local&quot;&gt; control. This will align the terminology and hopefully avoid author confusion.</thetext>

    <thetext>Diff looks good to me, but I don&apos;t see the addition of the reference to w3.org/TR/timezone? Is that intentional?</thetext>

    <thetext>HTML5.1 Bugzilla Bug Triage: Works for me

Double-checked, and the health warning is still there. If there is follow-up needed, let&apos;s get a new issue filed.

If this resolution is not satisfactory, please copy the relevant bug details/proposal into a new issue at the W3C HTML5 Issue tracker: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/new where it will be re-triaged. Thanks!</thetext>
