>OWL will probably proceed by suggesting that tools that see dateTime values
without timezones "repair" the values by inserting some notion of the "current"
timezone.  

That is of course exactly what XSLT and XQuery do, and if you are not familiar
with how those specs handle timezone in date/time operations, then I would
strongly suggest reading up on it, since (a) a lot of thought went into it, and
(b) however imperfect, it will set the expectations of many of your users.
