Isn't that a contradiction in terms?
Not if you're used to the Unix concept of storing "seconds since the epoch".
In that model the quantity you're storing is entirely time zone agnostic.
By that logic, all "times" are intervals. '2004-10-12 22:09' is 2004 years, 10 months, 12 days, 22 hours, 9 minutes since 0.
