--- Comment #7 from Dan Dascalescu <ddascalescu+freedesktop at gmail.com> ---
I'm a developer, albeit not a Java one, so maybe I'm wrong. Why would it be so
complicated to store timestamps in UTC? I've already shown in my previous
comment that date fields already have a 'Z' tacked onto them. Is that used? If
not, how could it be used?

Can Calc convert timestamps from the local timezone into UTC on save, and form
UTC into the local timezone on load? Both these conversions should be provided
by the OS or the runtime, so there should be no reason to mess with timezones
in Calc code.
