Comment:
The note on time-zone ranges is too absolute in stating the limits from -12 to +14 and 00/30/45 minutes. Add the word &quot;currently&quot; in to the note.

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: The way the spec is phrased it&apos;s pretty clear that it&apos;s talking about the range of actual timezones, not the theoretical range. Should the range change, let me know, and I&apos;ll update the spec.</thetext>

    <thetext>Its not unknown for systems to validate this range too tightly and for there to be difficulties when governments change their rules. But its your call...</thetext>
