In principle I agree this would be a very good thing, if possible at
all.

I have no strong opinion about this. I was merely concerned about
consistency. E.g., when using `format-time-string', I never think about
"UTC" for the last optional argument.

BTW, as long as Org doesn't support time zones, the "ox-icalendar"
property may be prefixed with "ICALENDAR_" (e.g., ICALENDAR_TZ).
