West-coast user entering stuff on East-coast user's calendar (would want to see

calendar in the other user's timezone). Wait, that's still a client problem as
the
dates would still be UTC on the server, and I guess there'd be some sort of user
table with the tz info.

Dave Taylor posted on this topic at some length last week. It's not an
easy problem, from a Data standpoint, from an Application standpoint, or
from a User standpoing.
His last paragraph:
"Do realize that if you go to enter events while you're in a different
time zone, your calendar app, whether it's iCal on your computer or
Calendar app while you're on your iPhone, will default to the home time
zone time. In other words, if I am in Vegas and enter a dinner meeting
for 6:00pm, the program will assume I mean 6:00pm home time zone
(Denver) time. Then I'll see it as a 7:00pm dinner meeting. Wrong, and a
tricky problem if you're moving around a lot. Be aware, experiment, and
learn to work with as best you can. It's a pretty tough problem to
manage, I think."
