The agenda that I actually use (and prefer by a significant margin)
is this one:  http://tools.ietf.org/agenda/86/

Since I don't live in a DST-less UTC timezone myself, I will have to
convert (for the purpuse of plannying my remote participation) the
listed times in both, the traditional agendas and any agenda that
uses UTC time.  I actually prefer the agendas with local time.


The little thing that I would appreciate is really an indication of
the local time zone on *ALL* published agendas.  Since the IETF-86
agenda include a code sprint event on Saturday, which as I understand
is still EST(-05:00), while the rest of IETF-86 happens in EDT(-04:00),
so there is no longer a "single" timezone for the entire agenda.

How about adding the timezone info after each day's name?

e.g.:

  SATURDAY, March 9, 2013  (EST -05:00)
  0930-1800  Code Sprint - Grand Sierra A    


  SUNDAY, March 10, 2013  (EDT -04:00)
  1100-1900  IETF Registration - Caribbean Registration
