Personally, I'd trust "date -u" much sooner than any random person.
Even better:

    $ date --date='00:00 Feb 26, 2013 UTC'
    Mon Feb 25 19:00:00 EST 2013

Finding the current time in UTC could reasonably  be left as an exercise
for the reader...

It could be posted on the Internet Draft submission tool page, including a "countdown clock" too, if you really want useful ;-)

Then again, having these deadlines at all is a bit silly.

It just forces authors to "informally distribute" updates directly on the list, and cuts off access to work that doesn't need to happen in sync with an IETF meeting.
