In what possible situations would a UA not have access to the user's UTC offset? Possibly a UA on a mobile phone, but even there I suspect they've got the UTC offset available somewhere - my phone can allegedly set the time automatically, and I'd imagine that that process involves it finding out the timezone of the 'local' country too. Compared to the effort required to implement a Web Forms 2.0 UA anyway, I really don't think that knowing the local UTC offset is a killer. Regards, Malcolm
