@lijn @mattl date, not time. If you are being specific only to the day, tz info is pointless

@dissolve @lijn @mattl The date at any point in the world depends on what rime zone it is in

@winenous @lijn @mattl yes, if you want to further specify. But it does not make a date invalid when it does not specify the time zone. Technically, you are specifying a 48 hour period with date without tz. And a 24 hour period with date with tz. Date plus time specifies a set number of discreet times over a 24 hour range, and date, time and tz gives one specific time. It is pretty odd to have a date alone be too unspecific but date and time be too specific.

@winenous @lijn @mattl so, you are correct, it isn't pointless just incredibly weird
