I'd argue that setting a specific datestamp and time for DST would mean that you expected to meet at that specific time and date as per DST. If the clocks changed you'd be out of luck (that's where I'd argue you'd use a non-specified timezone for a meeting that re-occurs at 10:05 regardless of

I think timezone you're in should be declared globally, surely? And then defined in the timestamp? The use cases for per file or even per-heading tz specifying seems very low imho (and introducing a lot more complexity.). Daryl. On Mon, Jan 16, 2023 at 6:20 PM Ihor Radchenko wrote: > Jean
