Future timestamps ever needed in NOKAR 5 Core?

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Is there ever going to be a need for future "generic" timestamps in a
NOARK5 archive?  Section 6.1.1.8 in the specification state that dates
should be according to http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime, and this note
specifies that all time stamps including the hour of day should also
include a numeric time zone.

But to specify 12 noon two months from now, it is in general unknown
here in Norway if the timezone for this day is timezone +01 or +02,
because of daylight savings.  If daylight savings are introduced or
dropped in the two month period, the timezone changes.

Is this going to be a problem with the NOARK 5 API?  Are we ever going
to need to specify relative and/or repeating times?
