I'd agree. I really can't see how you can use UTC6 as a timezone
though it makes sense as an offset. But in that case, UTC is UTC,
and the zero is just tautological.

We avoided the problem when I went to sea by using the letter codes,
Z(ulu), A(lpha), B(ravo) etc. because there are no civil timezones,
daylight savings times or anything else.
