Sep. 25th, 2004 02:33 pmISO 8601 establishes that UTC time is to be indicated by appending a Z. The military uses the NATO Phonetic Alphabet, which has Z said as "Zulu". This is why "Zulu time" is two hours earlier than the actual time used in the Zulu people's homeland; South Africa is in the UTC+2 time zone.
