That may be nice for you, but most of the non-software-engineering normal 
humans I exchange email with are not capable of doing any timeone math 
whatsoever, much less the next zone over. UTC is right out. This is especially 
the case for those who tend to use Exchange, which curiously offers these UTC 
defaults, I guess on the assumption that everyone's mail clients will convert 
everything to local time.

To put it different, it's not so much that I don't want to the timezone math 
(although I don't really), it's that I am confident that the people I deal with 
do not.

I'm sure your experience may be different, but those are my requirements.
