On second thought, it may be better to associate timezone with a UserLogin
considering a party may have users in different locations. This of course,
assumes that a single login is used by a single user who would have a
preferred timezone. Would this be better than assigning it to a party?

This is a tricky one since it may be correct to say that a given  
Party corresponds to a single time zone. On the other hand, I guess  
it depends on what you want to do with it... it may be that having  
more than one time zone would mess up what you are trying to do. In  
general the time zone probably goes along best with the Postal  
Address, or perhaps even the Telecom Number. If you need a single  
field, or call it a "preferredTimeZone" or something along those  
lines to make it clear that it isn't supposed to be the only one,  
then putting it right on the Party entity is not a bad way to go.
