If you only want to display a date, then fine. But remember we're talking about a computer program here, which we have come to expect to do smart things like sort according to dates, or filter according to a date range, or that kind of stuff. You just can't do these things reliably with just a string without TZ info. For instance, a picture shot at "2008:10:26 03:15:00" may actually bave been shot before another one known to EXIF as "2008:10:26 02:45:00" (end of DST in Western Europe).
