No, floating time zones would be saved without any timezone information 
(also not as UTC, no trailing Z at the datetime string). If you mix 
timezones in one calendar and want to preserve the information which 
event belongs to which timezone you need the timezone parameters. 
Anyway, as iCalendar allows time zone ids per datetime property we have 
to support it.

It doesn't change much of the existing parsing so I think it's safe to 
add now.

I have committed the patch with some slight modifications. Many thanks 
for solving this problem.
