Does Zulu tone have a tool to intersect different times together to find the best time? So it makes sure that’s it’s in a range of good times to meet. Like normal working hours from 7-8 to 18-19. That’s what would be import with finding the best time and where hTime’s clocks becomes more useful. But that also could be implemented in Zulu I believe.
ZXX:XX surely. For example, we could meet at Z1340 even. To me this is a question making the string unique enough that people won't accidentally think of it as a local time. The military uses 24-hour times in a similar manar, e.g. "Oh-seven-hundred", etc. So aside from Z13:40 possibly looking too close to just 13:40, it does communicate the time for people to meet, regardless of how many timezones are involved. What's the best time to meet is a whole other question...
I honestly haven't even started to think about how this integrates with DST and other funky locale calendar rules.
I'm going to be busy for a bit, but hopefully I remember to come back to this thread...
