Perhaps briefer is better.  But if this is a "trial run" for moving into 
the future, where we can reasonably expect partial hour offsets, we 
should go ahead with the +0400 variant.  At least this way, there'll be 
only one new variant for people to absorb!

Just my PHP 1 (approx. USD 0.02) worth of opinion!
