Great initiative. Dealing with timezone is a pain and I totally agree with you that storing universal time is the way to go. It's a little bit like the 'validating input problem': Strongly validating and converting input/output so that the entire application can be safe. I.e. it's not to the sqrt function to validate its parameters. (Although it'd throw an exception if it fails.)
