      Existing Wording: Where possible, the system should correct for timezones when performing queries. Dates do not have time zones, and time zones should not be considered. Where both search parameters and resource element date times do not have time zones, the servers local time zone should be assumed.

      Comment:

      Disagree with this approach - what happens if the client does not know the servers time zone? Either a means of communicating this (perhaps in the conformance statement) should be provided, OR the server should assert the timezone in use in the response.
