It's not what you're asking for, but timezones in calendar exports, at
least, are supported. I'm planning an upcoming trip to London, so I make
a "London trip" heading in my schedule.org file, and add a TIMEZONE
property with "Europe/London" as the value. It doesn't work in the
agenda (the agenda would require quite a bit more work to support it),
but when I export to my caldav server the TZ is set properly and it
shows up right on my phone, etc.

That's something, anyway...
