--- Comment #3 from Dan Dascalescu <ddascalescu+freedesktop at gmail.com> ---
I agree that the timezone functionality is missing.

On the other hand, all modern collaboration software does support timezones, so
lacking support for them is unusual.

There are real-life use cases in which the lack of timezones can cause
problems, and I've added another one at
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121851#c3.

According to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment,
I would strongly suggest that we document this unusual behavior (lacking
timezone support), in order to manage expectations correctly.

Happy to write the documentation if provided with the appropriate MediaWiki
editing credentials.
