Clock time without a time zone is underspecified. It might refer to the users current timezone? Or at the time of the event? But what if you invite a user in another timezone? You’re going to miss each other by hours.

This is a good point, which has a simple solution: You can't leave the timezone as "none" or "floating" if you invite people.

Yeah, the computer needs some heuristic to “guess” when an under-specified time is created. No matter how it guessed, somebody would be upset.
