Hi All, Does any one know of an existing standard that deals with TimeZone,Daylight Savings encoding, because as of current UTC, doesn't deal with timezone and daylight saving as far as I am a where, which means, that for leap seconds and backwards timeshift, their can be duplicate UTC dates. I have take a quick look at the problem and things could be rather small one to solve, but needs some input from others and think make it potential new standard, would be great step forward for all server communicating. I would like for time to have the property that it is unique in the context of planet earth and always increase in its binary value. has the observed entropy encoding property. For this to happen I need to always encode UTC offset as a property. I would like to introduce encoding scheme for UTCOffset, that encodes the last timeshift offset forward or in reverse, that would allow backward shifting of time of events, to be preserved. Typically this would required 2600 minutes about 4096bits or 2^12 plus sign bit so 2^13, which provides a total resolution of 8192 values, where by 2600*2=5200 +1 are used for UTC minute offset encoding with timeshift forward or backwards from last shift. The the reaming 8192 - 5201 = could be split and used possibly for leap seconds adjustment. As this would allow writing applications once, that could simply be used any where on planet earth. Where date and time difference, could easily be computed simply for all purposes. Any suggestions on where to start and with whom to speak, or if NTP has address this issues and we probably should be copying from that.
