Sure, but I was referring more to the times you actually do just want a date. It's perfect for a birthday, or "this day in history", or any number of other things. Nobody really cares that while it was Tuesday where you were born, it was Wednesday for them.

In some instances, if you really only care about the day something happened, adding a time is just extra details to screw up. But if you do need need a a time, you very well may also need a timezone.
