> Steven, > > We will add examples to show that now() returns Z time only Just for the record, I think this is a bad idea. I understand (now) that the current text for now() is ambiguous, but I believe the wrong interpretation had been chosen to solve that ambiguity. Either way some implementations will have to change, so I think changes should be chosen on what is best for authors, and I believe that most authors will expect now() to return the local time (not UTC), amongst other reasons because that is what spreadsheets return for the function now(). I do however agree there is a use case for a function that returns UTC.
