| Summary | Time-zone specified as integer does not work |
|---|---|
| Description | The documentation states that the time-zone on a date can be indicated by an integer (interpreted as number of hours). This does not work. The : sign is needed. |
| Example code |
>> 3-Jan-2010/10:00+2 == 3-Jan-2010/10:00 >> 3-Jan-2010/10:00+2:0 == 3-Jan-2010/10:00+2:00 |

There's an issue here. Integer timezone was for this form to be allowed:
>> 3-Jan-2010/10:00+200 considered identical to: >> 3-Jan-2010/10:00+2:00 So, this requires discussion and definition. |

My contribution to the discussion: if +200 was to mean +2:00, this was never documented -- the REBOL 2 documentation suggests 6 == 6:00 (although the literal text of the example contradicts this), and does not offer an example like 200; the REBOL 3 documentation is a copy of the REBOL 2 one in that respect. So, effectively there is nothing against suppressing this feature entirely. The principle of least surprise would apply, at least for me. |

As of A108, an integer is assumed to be HHMM format.
