It would be nice, but I don't see how we could do it.

We wouldn't be able to keep the hack of using a decimal datatype with a
Time Zone Qualifier within the field itself and if we added it as an
attribute, we would have inconsistent results when sorting values with
different time zones.

Or have I missed something ?
