The time may alternatively be followed by a time zone correction,
expressed as @samp{@var{s}@var{hh}@var{mm}}, where @var{s} is @samp{+}
or @samp{-}, @var{hh} is a number of zone hours and @var{mm} is a number
of zone minutes. When a time zone correction is given this way, it

When a time zone correction is given this way, it
forces interpretation of the time relative to
Coordinated Universal Time (@sc{utc}), overriding any previous
specification for the time zone or the local time zone. The @var{minute}
specification for the time zone or the local time zone. For example,
@samp{+0530} and @samp{+05:30} both stand for the time zone 5.5 hours

part of the time of day may not be elided when a time zone correction
is used. This is the best way to specify a time zone correction by

non-daylight-saving time zone by the string @samp{DST} in a separate
word (that is, separated by some white space), the corresponding
daylight saving time zone may be specified.
Alternatively, a non-daylight-saving time zone can be followed by a
time zone correction, to add the two values. This is normally done
only for @samp{UTC}; for example, @samp{UTC+05:30} is equivalent to
@samp{+05:30}.
Time zone items other than @samp{UTC} and @samp{Z}
are obsolescent and are not recommended, because they
