Indeed.

He has fixed it by leaving it out. Yes, FTS-4009 says it is optional. But it also says this:

 The Time Zone field may only be omitted when it is not possible for
 the implementation to determine the correct offset from UTC, and in
 this case the time stamp must represent local time on the generating
 system.

I leave the conclusion to the reader...


Cheers, Michiel
