I personally like your proposal to always assume
UTC+0000 when dealing with dates.

We can then add some ways for users to set actual TZ,
using a Set( _SET_TZ ) function, which would influence
the dates on read and write. Plus we can add some
functions to make it easy to shift timestamps by a passed
TZ.
