I believe the most common flaw in vevents is currently missing or
incorrect timezones. I was just looking at how timezones are shown
in the examples, and discovered that they aren't. Every single
example is marked as Z. On the live web, I don't see many actually
converting their times to UTC, so I think the examples should
probably reflect the more common use of offsets to encourage better
timezone markup.
I started by changing the first event to CST under DST. I also
changed the timezone question in the FAQ to focus more on what people
are more often doing (offsets):

I'm still not entirely sure I understand timezones and DST correctly,
so it would be good for others working with this issue to review.
Peace,
Scott
