The format of time stamps would have to change to include time zone information, although I guess the change could be upwards compatible by assuming the local time zone if a designator is not present. The regex specifications for time stamps would need to be updated and potentially all functions using these would have to change as well. And I'm sure there would be second order implications... I think it would be doable. The question is whether it is worth it. When I was in Australia for a year recently, flying back and forth frequently, I would have loved to have had this feature. However, I managed without it by being careful about how I put the information into my org files. --=20 : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.50.1, Org release_8.3beta-921-gfd8c= 84
