An "all day event" in the calendar should not depend on time zone

I'm doing a decent amount of business travel, in different time zones.  When
I enter an "all day event" in Outlook, it is entered related to my current
time zone.  When I switch time zones, the event appears to go across multiple
days - it remembers the day when it was entered and stops being an all day
event.

That's not right.

Yes it is right... outlook (like all mail clients) uses UTC time and offsets
the items based on the time zone setting of the local computer.

The fix: use dual zones.

I do use dual zones, as I usually do business travel to one time zone.  
However, I still want an "all day event" to be an all day event whichever
time zone I'm in.  I don't care about the day boundary of the time zone I'm
not in at the time.

This is a suggestion - I don't want "all day events" to show up beyond one
day.  Period.
