I'm OK with an incomplete list (as long as it's documented as such).  However, I would hope the date and find commands can coordinate their respective incompleteness.

The doc says (emphasis mine):

> 3.2.3 Time Formats
>
> Below is an incomplete list of formats for the directives '%A', '%C',
> and '%T', which print the file's timestamps.  Please refer to the
> documentation of 'strftime' for the full list.  Some of these formats
> might not be available on all systems, due to differences in the
> implementation of the C 'strftime' function.

The latest documentation https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/html_mono/find.html#Time-Formats is missing time formats for -printf like %Az %Tz %Cz, although %AZ %TZ %CZ are documented.  However these format directives do appear to work.  See also the documentation for the date command, which does document these format directives.  The find manpage is similarly missing documentation for these format directives.
