With timezone support enabled, permalinks for `DateDetailView` are hard to
create.
As clearly stated in docstring of `DateMixin._make_date_lookup_arg`,
{{{
When time zone support is enabled, `date` is assumed to be in the
current time zone, so that displayed items are consistent with the
URL.
}}}
As current time zone is a time zone of the current user, web site should
generate different urls for different users in order them view same
content and not 404 page. That's weird: we don't have permalinks anymore.
User in Moscow may send a link to `DateDetailView` to another user in New
York, and that user will see 404 page. Or it may be `DayArchiveView`, and
user in New York will see another set of records.
I may be not understanding something, as last test in
`regressiontests.generic_views.dates` even checks for this 404. But what
is the way I should generate worldwide accessible permalinks?
