what makes sense to me is to collect timestamps in UTC, store them in UTC when storing them in a database, and let whatever's pulling the data out of the db present the data to the user in whatever fashion makes sense. Any other approach, i.e. working in local time or DST, makes working across time zones difficult, and computing intervals (in the case of DST) impossible.
I agree with Karl. Timestamps in UTC in the database make the most sense for me.
