Astronomers have, for a long time, faced the timezone problem and have
arrived at a workable solution:  use "Universal Coordinated Time" as
broadcast by WWV (and others) for all time records.  Local sites can
translate this into "local time" if they so choose, although in many cases
it won't matter to anybody but the mailer.
