Ultimately, the issue is separating and capturing user intent between two major categories:

1. Events that are socially bound to a context, and capturing that contract or triggering rules, e.g. "Whenever the nation of Ruritania declares March 3rd end of workday".

2. Events that occur a fixed and knowable internal from "now."

It is complicated further by the fact that many users won't really be aware of their own varying different intentions.
