Nevermind. I communicated it wrong.  But perhaps the tzutc could  
reflect the time and zone, based on when *and* where, the author  
actualy is.

So, Veleno's tzutc would make me appear in Italy, although I am  
not. Where as, OpenXP's tzutc across my myriad of Boss systems  
can pin-point my local time and timezone.
