One other thing I just remembered: IIRC there was a proposal to handle
the whole timezone offset issue with a single function

   normalizeCalendarTime :: CalendarTime -> CalendarTime

which would essentially just roll over the out of range fields in
CalendarTime.  This is essentially the same as the idea Marcin proposed
in his message, I believe.  Of course, normalizeCalendarTime needs to
know about leap seconds (some minutes don't have 60 seconds!).
