I'd suggest that the relative timezone of the observer is normally the
same, and if it should differ a display override sounds appropriate.

I think the question is would supporting timezones be difficult to add?
Then would you store the time in UTC only, or support a full timestamp
that included timezone?
Finally when being displayed they can use the user's $TZ by default,
and maybe a suffix of @ TZ inside the date syntax?
