Hi Steffen,

sure it's possible to use both proposed parameters in combination but it 
was thought as alternative. Nevertheless it makes sense to use both, 
i.e. when you don't  know the timezone you need to use but the "offset" 
or "timeshift" (yeah thats cool ;-) ), the difference i.e. to GMT.

I have two points I don't understand at your proposition:

1) why do you note gm when you mean GMT - why don't you take GMT like 
it's wellknown and logical?

2) Why you like to take a timezone as parameter instead of value? It 
isn't any feature like a MENU that needs a parameter to activate a whole 
configuration branche, so it's a bit ugly in my eyes.
Additionally you've to define all timezones as parameters I think or did 
you want to define only one for GMT?

Best Regards
David
