There's no legacy in that. It ensures that all wikis talk about the same 
time, no matter from where you look at it. It does not mean that TiddlyWiki 
thinks all users sit in Greenwhich. For example, if I create a tiddler now 
that would be stamped in local time, and you would look at it five minutes 
later in your local time, you'd think I've already posted it 8 hours ago. 
Not too cool, is it? :D

At the very least, users should be able to configure how they want their

Perhaps. Not so sure. It would possibly be easier for literally typing 
dates into date fields but then I don't do that.

It's not a bug, it's a feature. The bug(s) would be where we're not 
(always) reading date fields correctly, i.e. in filters like *sameday* or 
*eachday*.

Best wishes,
