[JDEV] Message timestamping and route tracking

[Waleed Abdulla]

Steven,
    That's a good point (that is traveling users). But, who will determine
the timezone? Is it the server which might not even be in the same timezone?
In fact I don't see any  possible way to determine the real timezone
automatically.
