Just noticed this hasn't been posted before. I've been using this format for a while (with patched email clients, git and some other date-displaying software) to get a better grasp of timezone-independent time without dismissing the local offset. This format is extremely useful for things like reading mail threads with chronological timestamps (while still being able to see the authors' timezones) or noting down travel itineraries that cross many different timezones.
