Well, I didn't want to open *this* can of worms, but:

If the timezone field doesn't say how to display data to the user, and we
agree it doesn't describe how data is stored (since its very presence means
data is stored as UTC) ... well ... what *is* the meaning of the timezone
field?

(In my opinion, there shouldn't be a field at all.)

Enjoy life,
Adam
