SQL92 "TIME WITH TIMEZONE" carries a single numeric timezone with each
time field. It has no provision for daylight savings time. And a time
field without an associated date has imho no possibility for a
meaningful "timezone" or a meaningful usage. So the definitions and
features are completely at odds with typical date and time usage and
requirements in many countries around the world.
Date et al discuss this, and have the same opinion, so the gods are
with me on this one ;)
