Zulu Time (was: Who else was awake at 2am this Sunday babysitting the time change???)

Actually, as this discussion went on in various forms over the last few
weeks, I started to wonder why the "local" time  is used at all.  I would
think that every system should keep a standard time (i.e.Zulu
time<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time>)
and present it in local time.

I would think this would be particularly useful for messaging systems, such
as MQ.

Any thoughts or comments?
