I had a thought a week ago. If we update the time zone database for
future dates, and you have a future date/time stored, doesn't the time
change when the time zone database changes.

For example if I schedule an appointment in New Zealand for 10:00a and
we change the time zone database so that date is now daylight savings,
doesn't the time change to display as 9 or 11am? That seems pretty bad.
