For example if there a web page showing that the football game starts at 6:00pm. One has to understand, it is not local time. It could be 6:00pm ET (Easter US Time). But if you are see that page in Central US time zone, it should be 5:00pm. The idea, is the web page has "6:00pm ET", but when we see in central timezone, the browser shows time as "5:00pm Local". HTML5 Standardize it, to show in local time zone (if needed). That makes date and time friendly.
