  Dear Maggie,
  
  the Date Time Stamp in annotations needs a trailing qualifier like GMT, UTC, PST or something similar.
  Otherwise it gives rise to unnecessary requests, when time critical ideas, leading to patent claims, were presented.
  
  Especially in the OpenSource and the CC movement, brilliant ideas are offered, that could be ripped off as patent claims. If the idea givers can give evidence, that they were some seconds earlier, the idea/concept/procedure belongs to the author or community (depending on the license) and cannot be blocked by a parasitic copyright/patent claim anymore.
  
  The same argument applies to graphics, music, movies, any other content claims, coupled to a time-stamped annotion of its author.
  
  MayAllBeHappy ( I know how difficult this may be from time to time ;-)
