DataColumn.DataSetDateTime Property - What is it good for?

Hello everybody,

When I saw this new DataColumn.DataSetDateTime property for the first time I
thought myself: wow, what a good idea! Perhaps ADO.Net seamlessly converts
UTC to local and vice versa, so I will be able to store dates as UTC but
display as local! All that just specifying DataSetDateTime property value.

But it does not seem to work quite that way. DataSet.Merge() operation
requires compatibility and does not perform any translations.
So, how is it supposed to be used? What is the hidden advantage?
Could someone share his/her experience? I already read docs, but the
description is rather scant.
