Bikeshed: Would arithmetic be based on UTC time or Unix time? It'd be more logical to describe it as "adding six hours means adding six hours to the UTC time", but it'd look extremely odd when there's a leap second.
It would ignore leap seconds. If you want to call that unix time or not is a matter of opinion. Hm. I guess the internal representation could be EPOCH + offset, and local times could be calculated properties, which could be cached (or possibly calculated at creation).
