No response needed here :)
So I was wrong on the specific example of .today(), but asking the
question the other way is at least helpful. Maybe the best solution is
exactly what Roy already posted, or maybe there's some other way to
achieve that. In any case, there is a solution, albeit not as clean as
I would have liked.
With time zones, as with text encodings, there is a single technically
elegant solution (for text: Unicode; for time zones: twelve simple,
static zones that never change)
Twelve or twenty-four? Or are you thinking we should all be an even
number of hours away from UTC, which would also work?

I don't care what anyone says, I'm sticking with GMT. ("UTC" ==
"Universal Coordinated Time") == False. And what the hell *IS*
coordinated? If that was the case this part of this thread wouldn't
exist :)
Perhaps the solution is the Chinese way, don't have timezones at all.
