Besides of the "Date without time" issue, there is also the issue handling
regular Date+Time in different TZ.
That's a lot more difficult, especially, as you mention because of DST as it
requires data tables to make those decisions historically.
I think the only way you can achieve this is changing every hard dependency
in Flex on Date to use an interface type.
i find it somehow comforting that i'm not alone in timezone hell ;-)
for "historical" dates we've used calls back to the server (coldfusion) or
during data retrieval where we could access the whole tz database. but the issue
then became what's "historical"? which ended up as "whatever the client said it
was", not the best approach.
really curious to see what folks have done to solve this.
