Re: [web-annotation] 'generated' and 'modified' should use UTC by default

I'm not sure all of the context is clear from the IRC log. 

The feedback from Addison (as we understood it) was that the use of 
these fields as timestamps -- that is, referring to an unambiguous 
point in time -- as well as the fact that they are assumed to be 
machine generated, means that interoperability is best served by 
ensuring a default of UTC.

A discussion within the WG was that taking this to its logical 
conclusion, we should simply require all timestamps to be UTC. Mapping
 these timestamps to users' local timezones is a display issue.
