That actually turns out to be fairly easy because you use a common
datetime formatter on the session for all of the user's time
rendering. This can be used bi-directionally for WOTextFields as
well and then it is not too tricky at all to achieve this.
I don't see how this is any different from what WO does already.
NSTimestamps are always in GMT and get formatted to / from the local
timezone. If you set the local timezone to GMT, you avoid problems
with new NSTimestamp, but you still have problems with dates parsed
from user input if you don't want to interpret that as GMT values.
What am I missing?
