It's just struck me that there ought to be established practice for dealing with date metadata for which the context of the object is the most significant in presenting them. If so, all we have to do is turn that into code. It would probably require that, alongside a date, we also record the timezone from which it was converted to Z.
We'd have to reinvent several wheels if we want to store encoded dates in multiple zones. Most date packages convert everything to and from a common basis, if they handle zones at all. That simple, potentially reversible operation makes comparison and manipulation so much simpler. -- Mark H.
