Why why why using a local timezone when announcing a live broadcast,
which will be seen by many people anywhere in the world?
Do note also that there are three different timezones in the world
which are named PST. Not everyone lives in North America!
IETF must use only UTC when announcing a worldwide event.
If it was given in a easily and umabiguously machine-readable form like
`2013-11-06T05:00Z` we could make our computers recognise it and render
it in whatever form we prefer, including offering adding a note in the
calendar or whatever people find useful...
