Since the granularity is in years, a few hours shouldn't make a difference.

Since I don't care about a few hours here or there, I really don't care or need timezones - I just want the years in my labels to be accurate, rather than shifted back a year! > Timeline handles Timezone issues by having the timezone specified as part of > the object creation, and then using it.

You can use it as a model for testing out timezones in Timeplot. Hrm. I'll see if I can take it and beat it into shape to demonstrate the bug I'm seeing. Thanks! -- David N.
