I'd say this is an incorrect assumption. Perfect case, Jabber.org. I am no
where NEAR the same timezone. Also, companies like AOL, PSINet, (insert random
larger ISP here) would not have the server in the same timezone..
I also think we're missing something here. The ONLY timezone that is up for
debate is the CLIENT that's sending the messages timezone. All other timezone
parameters should be for the local server doing the timestamp.
