<![CDATA[
DateTime can be specified relative to local time, UTC, or unspecified.
DateTime and DateTimeOffset
DateTime and DateTimeOffset differ in how they handle time zones.
A DateTime incorporates a three-state flag indicating whether the DateTime is relative to:
The local time on the use's computer
UTC
Unspecified
A DateTimeOffset stores the offset from UTC as a TimeSpan:
DateTime ignores the three-state flag in comparisons.
DateTime considers two values equal if they have the same value.
