FALSE: Sanely organized networks, even those that do not span multiple time zones, collect and store only UTC [GMT] STCKE values.
TRUE: Truly sanely organized networks, of any description, collect and store EITHER the UTC datetime value OR the local datetime value, and the GMT Offset to the time zone of that system at that time of the UTC value, AND the Leap Seconds in effect at that datetime value.
