Repeating events need their own handling. Maybe it's safe to use
11:30AM local time, but what if you specify 1:30AM America/New_York?
How can you render that onto a calendar? There'll be times when it
breaks - one day a year when it's ambiguous, and one day a year when
it doesn't exist. How can you work with a time that might not exist?
