Zone abbreviations are hard to work with. The playground behaves as it does because PST is unrecognized. The effect is to get a time that is marked as PST with an offset of 0 (see "If the zone abbreviation is unknown" in https://golang.org/pkg/time/#Parse). When printing with time.RFC3339, an offset of 0 is printed as Z. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
