Indeed, structural changes to timezones also need to be handled. Temporal has a good approach here https://tc39.es/proposal-temporal/docs/ambiguity.html#ambigu....

Basically:

- Store the offset and the tz ID

- When deserializing, allow explicit choice what to do: keep the offset (i.e. same moment in time) or keep the local time (i.e. same time on the 'wall clock')
