Changing timezones from floating on a collection by collection basis seems problematic. What if you drag floating events from other collections into that already converted collection? We'd need to start tracking which collections have been converted and which haven't, that starts to sound complicated. >> I don't think there's a perfect way to deal with floating events that >> already exist, since they could be shared events coming from someone who >> wants them floating... > > Hmmm.

Well, I suppose we could change all events that don't live in an already shared collection. I think if we pop up this prompt before we subscribe to a shared collection, mostly people who are timezoners will switch before they even have a chance to subscribe to any floating events.
