Yes, the offset here is ambiguous--is it offset from some timezone or from UTC?I understand above that it is easier understandable when reading [2023-01-22 Sun 08:29@+1100] as it is assumed by poster (I guess Max) that user will understand that there is +11 hours ahead.
Are you aware of usage base time other than UTC nowadays? My impression is that various libraries do not allow to get such formats easily. That is why e.g. web sites tends to present time in the server timezone (often not explicitly specified) or use JavaScript to convert it to browser timezone.
I believed that [2023-01-22 Sun 08:29@+1100] unambiguously suggests offset from UTC.
Are there local references that may confuse users? I mean something like 9 hours ahead of Moscow (Asia/Kamchatka) used in USSR.
