Times in iCalendar typically use the ISO format which has "Z" on the end, 
which means "Zulu" in US-military-speak (as seen on "JAG"): UTC for us 
civilians. I guess I could leave off any timezone information or put explicit 
information in there, but I was too lazy to look up how to do the latter, and 
I've a short story about the risks of doing the former which I may tell at 
some point.

Of course, all bets are off if people don't have their computers in the right 
timezone, anyway. Since the program is out there, feel free to make the 
necessary adjustments: I was just fixing a bug against the original informal 
specification.
