That really kinda shifts a problem. I can generally guess that at 10am whateverTime a business is going to be open or people are going to be awake to time my communications. This adds a step of having to look up ... I guess the current daylight hours and/or normal business hours first? Who would maintain such a database?
Same people who's maintaining it today. We need to look up business hours anyway on top of looking up time zones. E.g. business hours in Denmark is usually 8-16 while in UK it is usually 9-17. Here there's furthermore differences at the usual company. IMO you're inconsiderate if you start planning meetings without taking the business hours of the recipients into account (which means all our UK enployess are inconsiderate jerks on this topic, calling me in for meetings until 18:00...)
So instead of looking up the time zone difference and the cultural business hours of a company in Australia, I can just see that they open after my lunch.
