Re: Date function


Quickly thinking... what if you have "special" timestamp, which is always
assumed to be UTC; all inputs are considered given as UTC, user is always
considered to be in UTC. IE no matter where the user is, their clock is
assumed to show UTC time. And this timestamp is never automatically
converted to any other timezone. Also the underlying timezone is never
revealed in anyway, then isn't it the same as paper calendar date?
Really it could be any timezone other than UTC as long as it is
consistently always the same.
