According to [0]:

> 'T' is the transaction date

If that's an accurate definition, then it's safe to say it would technically mean same day.

Simultaneously, if we want to be technically accurate to a pedantic level, "instant" would be impossible given speed limits of information transmission (speed of light), etc. So "T+0" couldn't mean "instant" in any case.

Maybe some settlements are, in fact, near-instant but I don't think that's implied by "T+0".
