PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL OR START A DISCUSSION THREAD UNTIL THE 
ISSUE IS ASSIGNED A NUMBER.

The issues coordinators will notify the list when that has occurred.

Protocol: bqos sla

Artifact: spec

Type: design

Title: Zulu Time should be UTC and Needs Reference

Description:

This issue applies to
BusinessQualityOfService-v1.0-spec-wd04.pdf
BusinessServiceLevelAgreement-v1.0-spec-wd04.pdf

See BQOS lines 250, 301, and BLSA lines 495, 501, 527, 530.

See also e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time  
"...all use UTC (also colloquially referred to as "Zulu Time") to avoid 
confusion about time zones and daylight saving time 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time>" and 
http://hurricanes.noaa.gov/zulu-utc.html "NOAA satellites use Zulu Time 
or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as their time reference. The 
satellite images that appear on NOAA's Web sites are stamped in Zulu time."

The proper non-colloquial usage is "UTC". The expression is typically 
done with ISO8601, explained at 
http://www.iso.org/iso/support/faqs/faqs_widely_used_standards/widely_used_s
tandards_other/date_and_time_format.htm 
and http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html . The usage in line 301 
is consistent with ISO8601, but the colloquial terminology is not.


Related issues:

Proposed Resolution:

Change text to indicate UTC.

Provide normative reference to ISO8601. (see OASIS Artifact Naming 
Guidelines).
