> `Instant.parse()` is expected to use the offset zone pattern `+HH:mm:ss` (as defined by `DateTimeFormatterBuilder.appendOffsetId()`), but it fails to parse hour-only offsets such as `+02`. This is because the actual implementation uses `+HH:MM:ss` as the pattern. While replacing the pattern in the implementation as with the specification would allow hour-only offsets, it would also introduce compatibility issues, i.e., printing would omit the minutes field when it is zero. So, it is preferable to update the specification to match the implementation. A CSR has also been drafted for this change.

Naoto Sato has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The incremental webrev excludes the unrelated changes brought in by the merge/rebase. The pull request contains nine additional commits since the last revision:

   Right. Changing to your suggested wording
