*DateTimeOffset also isn't a good type to use if you want to tie yourself 
to a specific time zone, because it has no idea of the time zone which gave 
the relevant offset in the first place. As of .NET 3.5 there's a pretty 
reasonable TimeZoneInfo class, but no type which talks about "a local time 
in a particular time zone". So with DateTimeOffset you know what that 
particular time is in some unspecified time zone, but you don't know what 
the local time will be a minute later, as the offset for that time zone 
could change (usually due to daylight saving time changes).*
