No, they don't.  There is really very little that you can do with
detached time objects.  While they have the tzinfo, with any timezone
that observes DST it is useless.  That's the main reason I am so
skeptical about any ideas about improving the time type.  Users should
just learn to avoid using it and use full datetime instead.
