Research direction

Start with formREQ.pl and trace how graph requests pass their start and end times to tremblemaps. Compare the declared UTC behavior with the actual time interpretation. Done means graph-request times are interpreted as UTC when the form specifies UTC, with the existing request behavior preserved otherwise.
