"using the london timezone" was meant to modify "using it", not
"naive time".

I'm pretty sure you just proved *my* point - that the flag is
meaningless outside of the timezone the time was originally created for
[or timezones that happen to have an identical fold] - so maybe I didn't
explain it clearly in the first place.

It seems to go against the concept of a naive time to contain data that
is only relevant to some specific timezone.
