Considering that no one asked for that since 2008 when we created Sling, the risk of it changing unexpectedly or subtly in the future is certainly not zero. However, if you're willing to supply a patch including the required changes to SlingDateValuesTest to validate your changes, this looks like a reasonable improvement to me. Assuming Oak supports preserving the timezone on stored dates, but you can check that by running the launchpad/testing build with -Dsling.run.modes=oak -Bertrand
