Summary: The specification says "Time-zone offsets differ based
on daylight savings time." In that case, how would you

example, how would you code "Online tech support chat
hours are <time datetime="09:00:00-0

Comment:
The specification says "Time-zone offsets differ based on daylight savings
time." In that case, how would you represent a time w/o date in a specific
time zone? For example, how would you code "Online tech support chat hours are
<time datetime="09:00:00-05:00">9 am ET</time> to <time
datetime="17:00:00-05:00">5 pm ET</time>" so that it works for someone in
Hawaii (and other places where the time does not shift) without having to say
"Online tech support chat hours are <time datetime="09:00:00-04:00">9 am
EDT</time> to <time datetime="17:00:00-04:00">5 pm EDT</time> in the summer
(daylight savings time) and <time datetime="09:00:00-05:00">9 am EST</time> to
<time datetime="17:00:00-05:00">5 pm EST</time> in the winter (standard
time)"?
