The ideal implementation, in my opinion, would have time stamps defined
& stored with time zone information, as given by the user when creating
them (although this could default to UTC, say, if not present in the
time stamp) but displayed according to the user's $TZ (or overridden
with emacs variable) in cases like agenda views.
For upwards compatibility, however, it might be best if time stamps with
no time zone information be considered to be at the user's timezone,
as it is now.
