@iherman No, I'm not suggesting that you `require UTC`. I'm pointing out that timestamps all map to (UTC-based) epoch times. That is, these are the same: 2016-05-18T00:00:00Z 2016-05-18T08:00:00+08:00 But it should be noted that +08:00 is not a time zone and the above is not obvious. And actually, timestamps aren't the problem. The problem is with floating time values. For example, in a few places in the document you refer to specific date versions of a resource (the example I use in my day job would be a specific Sunday New York Times edition). The date of that resource should not be effected by the local time zone on display. If timestamps are permitted for floating time values (which you might want to avoid creating in the first place), then you'll have problems with the date changing for people with different local times. -- GitHub Notification of comment by aphillips Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/216#issuecomment-220062158 using your GitHub account
