RFC-5545 specifies a machine readable format. Org files are for humans
even in raw text format. Decisions suitable for iCalendar are not always
applicable for Org.
The timestamp in the examples follows ISO-8601 and I have no idea why it
is confusing.
Offsets for RFC5545 means
- More code for parsing (negligible amount though)
- Due to wide spread confusions, an implementer may pretend that
timezones are supported just because offsets are saved despite missed
IANA TZ ID.
In respect to Org offsets and time zone identifiers are discussed in
this thread in details. As a format for humans it should be more
permissible and convenient for direct typing. There is no reason to
insist on UTC where timestamps with fixed offsets are equally valid.
