* Should we include a timezone field in CalendarTime?
Yes. If a CalendarTime doesn't carry timezone information with it, then the user must bundle it. They will want to do this because (1) they will be probably dealing with local time
But could there be occasions when the user wants to deal with calendar times without time zones?
(2) a CalendarTime sans timezone is equivalent to UTC,
No, a CalendarTime without a time zone would simply be a local time. It would not correspond to any particular absolute time. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA
