I believe John was referring to the (local civil) date (and time) of the occurrence of the zero EOT value; the date and time do depend on time zone, which is loosely coupled with longitude. I did not read his remarks as implying anything more than that. (His goal is to write a sundial manual for his customers, who may not be astronomically versed.) Of course John can correct me if I read his remarks or intent incorrectly... I agree with the rest of your remarks.
