For example, Outlook stores appointments in UTC, and then presents them as local time everywhere - but it needs them in UTC first. I also agree with Jim that there are situations where the application *doesn't* want to know about timezones. For example, I think I've mentioned a timesheet system I use at work. That deal exclusively with local times ("I got to work at 9"), and so UTC doesn't make sense. But for that, we have type="local-datetime". Regards, Malcolm
