I don't see mention of the new pattern symbol here.

[robertbastian]

It's in the table, with the other ones

[macchiati]

I see no explanation of "justified" in the table (2293). It only occurs further up in the spec. So when someone is looking at the table (2293), they will not know what that means. And it isn't really explained on line 1709. This needs a short sentence explaining the terminology in both places, eg so that a column of timezone offsets has roughly the same width in each line.

(Side note: justified has multiple meanings in English, including https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justified_(TV_series))

[robertbastian]

The other formats also aren't really explained in that paragraph.

Would you prefer "fixed-length" over "justified"?

Also, why are the "jira-ticket" and "single-commit" checks failing?

[macchiati]

Yes, I think fixed-length would be better, and that doesn't need a gloss.

• I don't know why "Pull request title must start with a Jira ticket ID" is failing. Looks like you do that.
• I don't recall seeing "This PR has undefined commits; consider squashing:" before. Or maybe my gaze just passes over it, because I don't think either of these block merging.
• The "@github-actions cldr-mvn / build (pull_request) Failing after 3m" is very odd; not sure why CheckArchive is called and failing.

@srl295 Any thoughts?

I thought it might be due to characters in the title. I've seen it if you have extra dashes before, but I tried removing a few and it didn't fix it.

[macchiati]

Yes, I recall that also. I try to stick to just ASCII letters and digits.

I meant to say:
with ASCII, I stick to just letters and digits — meaning avoid ASCII punctuation, because they sometimes trigger weird behavior in GitHub commit messages and branch names.

Actually I don't agree with the assumption that a zero GMT offset refers to GMT itself. Azores Summer Time is GMT+0, but that doesn't make it GMT, it's still Azores Summer Time, just with a GMT offset of zero. I would actually prefer if this format never used the gmtZeroFormat and we wouldn't need to introduce a new format for this behaviour.
