We need nothing to use current time zone. And we already do it.

System clock knows the current time zone. Emacs has an ability to
determine current time zone. See `current-time-zone'. This works
automatically (and already) because we use `encode-time'.

Indeed. This is the whole point of this discussion. Note my replies with
updated ideas. So far, I do not see a need to get some extra information
about time zones though. If you can, please correct me in the relevant
branches of this thread.
