Thanks for the reply. However, it seems to me that this is a *major*
failing with Google Calendar, if it doesn't have the ability to
associate Events with a time-zone. Just storing a UTC offset is not
good-enough. It does not allow identification when (as is the case)
several different world time-zones can have same offset. And it
completely falls apart when trying to work sensibly with DST (daylight
saving time). Users do not wish to be aware of DST, but it must just
"work". They don't want to see an Evnet's time appear to change just
because their point of observation has moved from Summer Time to
Standard Time!
