LCB API's

[Mike Kerner]

Now I'm really confused.  If I don't search for "date" or "time" and
instead go to the LCB side, and scroll down to com.livecode.date, it lists
localDate, but the example that comes up when you select it shows "local
date" as the syntax and in the example, shows "local time".  So, that's
supposed to be LCS and not LCB?  Also, if that is new LCS, isn't that going
to cause confusion with LOCAL declarations?

The other thing I notieced was that in the release notes, there is a
reference to com.livecode.timezone, which gave me hope that I could find
what I needed in there, but it does not seem to be documented in the API,
which leads me to believe that either it isn't documented, yet, or I'm not
supposed to go there.
