If the time stamp format doesn't support timezone info, then the input
method won't either, unfortunately. I had one of my occasional attacks
of enthusiasm about this subject recently -- using org-caldav while
you're traveling really exposes the limitations of timezone-unaware
scheduling.
Would it be completely out of the question to support an optional
timezone marker? From (nth 1 (current-time-zone))?

The plumbing for time calculations would be... an adventure. But it
seems like it could be done in a backwards-compatible way.
