Both the irmc and sunbird plugins currently don't use this semantics. I 
don't know about the evo plugin. With the sunbird plugin, this is 
admittedly my own fault. But actually I assume that when I now fix the 
sunbird plugin to correctly use timezone information (including 
interpreting "no timezone" as GMT), nothing will work anymore, because 
most plugins just seem not to do any conversion at all, and assume 
everything is in the local timezone.
