Off the top of my head; the user books a meeting at 2:30am, but local gov decides to implement a timezone change - time moves forward an hour at 2am. Does your meeting still exist?



The software catches the problem during a search triggered by tzdata change, alerts the user and asks for clarification. Before user action, the meeting is considered to be scheduled to 3 AM. Is that scenario unreasonable?


That sounds right to me - for the 2-3am "time no longer exists" edge case you can apply a default pattern and ask the user to verify.
