For example this:

1996-12-19T16:39:57-07:00[America/Los_Angeles]

The offset says -07:00 when it would be expected to say -08:00 for that timezone.

My assumption is that the names timezone takes precedence here, but it wasn't obvious to me from reading the draft.

I would presume the timezone name takes precedence, which means the offset stores additional information in terms of "what was the UTC offset at the time this datetime was initially recorded"
