[OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-11) date/time values without explicit time zones need further investigation

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

Michael Pizzo commented on ODATA-11:
------------------------------------

One suggestion is to remove the concept of a datetime with no offset. Datetimes with no timezone are pretty meaningless, so we could just have one "DateTime" type that had a (required) timezone. As per discussion above, we would need to define how services exposed and roundtripped datetime values that had no persistent timezone (for example, by interpreting persisted datetime values with no timezone as UTC).

> The reflection in OData of date/time values without explicit time zones needs further investigation.
> One way in which this issue manifests itself is in the comparison of a datetime value with a timezone to a datetime value without a timezone.
