Ah ok, finally! I did not know that on that email contained the 
specification. Thank you for clarifying me that.

First of all, it is optional, so take this as "feedback" from user 
perspective.

Motivation: I disagree that an email from a mailing list should be the 
reference for all orgmode users on the current state of something that 
matters (maybe not for everything). When I search on that topic, I got 
lost, and that's why I asked on the mailing list. From a user-wide 
perspective, it is better if it's a web page (which could source to the 
original email).

What information would be on that page? Right now, just the same 
information that in that email content from "The proposed new timestamp 
syntax" to its end. With a brief introduction saying that this has a 
status of a proposal and patches welcome (when this is already done, it 
could be a page where people can share recipes on timezones).

This looks better and clearer

  https://orgmode.org/worg/timestamp-timezone

Than

  https://list.orgmode.org/87tu063ox2.fsf@localhost/

Of course, on my personal basis, I no longer need that because I already 
know it, but other people might have that question; or maybe not because 
of the additional noise I produced!

And now let me continue with your amazing presentation on emacsconf2024 
about the org update situation. And congratulations on stepping up 
officially as the new org mantainer

Thanks and health,
