 the distance from this origin is days+picoseconds, where 8.64e16 picoseconds is 1 day.
 The calendar specific classes then can represent that date/time in the units defined for that
 calendar, such as gregorian can represent that distance from origin as
-year-month-day"T"hour:minute:second.fraction±timezone-offset.
+year-month-day"T"hour:minute:second.fraction±offset.
 Timezone and DST are only representational offsets on top of that distance. That means that
 2008-01-01T12:00Z and 2008-01-01T14:00+02:00 have the same distance, but are represented
 differently due to the different offset. Just as "May" (english) and "Mai" (german) are
 different representations of the same month.
+So Datetime and all its subclasses store date and time without representational offsets, those
+are only respected when accessing calendary-specific values, such as month, day, hour etc.
