I think it always should, I've yet to think of any use cases for the user entering anything but "local time" (where the time comes from the context of the question which may include UTC). > Is that basically your only objection to the datetime type - that the > default is to assume that the server wants the time converted to UTC? Pretty much yeah, the degradeability of the format is also IMO unfortunate, but that exists throughout the WF2 spec and is just a general complaint, but for datetime the UTC specificness renders it IMO completely unusable, as you've demonstrated above (It would still be unusable if you didn't have the any/morning/afternoon/evening in the above form too IMO, since you can ask for a flight leaving Beijing or Oslo.)
