 So, a possible (the only?) solution to those kinds of problems would
be to always and explicitly use UTC, right? Or, using the longitude 20
West (just crossing Iceland, which is 60+ North) or 170 West (too
close to "Vladimir Putin") where so few people live that I don't think
that anyone would care about day time savings or any of that.

 All kinds of software keep time diffs. I am trying to use it in an
obvious human readable way right in the file names.
