Well, we know that some parts of the OSM stack get it wrong because we've already got an osmosis bug about the matter. 

OSM data has a time zone associated with it, it just happens to all be the same.

I don't feel this is actually a substantial change as it shouldn't require changes for anything which currently is behaving correctly.

@vincentdephily How'd you hack around client bugs? That might work for me in the short term for getting around the data loading bugs
