> Datetime + tz name: a point in time and space that is responsive to time zone changes No. It isn't a point in time, because time zone transition rules can and do change. You need an offset as well. Then you can choose which thing you want to prioritize[1] when converting it to an instant in time. This is what RFC 9557 is for.

What use case is there for preferring the offset (that wouldn't be better served by using instants)? | ||
