One of the features we're working on to bring to the next release of the epiClock is an ajax driven time synchronization and zone switcher. Every 200 seconds or so (a default granularity which can be increased or decreased or disabled by the user) will go out to a time services, fetch an XML document of the current time, and resync the clock. In addition, this will allow us to present the user with a time zone option for a given clock that can be hardcoded upon creation, and/or available to an on-the-fly change (by the visitor to the site via a dropdown box or link or something).

Scrapped the sync feature as I couldn't find an interface I liked to work with to fetch the current NTP time, but if you know one, let me know. It is a nice little feature I would like to get working, at some point. Also, because I really hated doing time zones, and because the rules and exceptions to the rules are so varied, you can implement time zones using the new, way more robust offset system to do your time zone work.
