\section2 Offsets From UTC
Offsets from UTC are measured in seconds east of Greenwich. The moment
described by a particular date and time, such as noon on a particular day,
depends on the time representation used. Those with a higher offset from UTC
describe an earlier moment, and those with a lower offset a later moment, by
any given combination of date and time.
There is no explicit size restriction on an offset from UTC, but there is an
implicit limit imposed when using the toString() and fromString() methods
which use a [+|-]hh:mm format, effectively limiting the range to +/- 99
