Hi all,

I'm wondering if

2017-08-20T07:43:02+0000

can we tell immediately which timezone that time notation is using? so, from that one information, we can tell the exact point of time? because for example, event X happened at 15 Jul 2017 at 8.30AM, we'll immediately wonder, which timezone.

thanks
