That's not what I meant at all. A CalendarTime without a time zone is a 
local time, with no information about time zone or time in UTC.

I'll give you an example: if you have an appointment at 8pm today, and a 
source of local time that says 5pm, you know you have three hours. You 
don't need to know what time-zone you're in or what time UTC it is.

I'm not actually proposing a source of local time other than calculated 
from UTC and local time zone offset, mind, so it may not be that useful.
