Is there a good standard for representing a datetime+timezone as a string?

ISO8601 only stores the offset from UTC which isn't what I want - I'm looking to include things like America/Los_Angeles

This is a good call-out: since you can't predict future changes to timezone polygons, solving this problem perfectly likely requires saying "I will meet you on 5 March 2050 at 6pm in whatever timezone currently applies at 40.273502, -86.126976"

This looks like it might be what I want!
