The value of the Kind field should be preserved.

Is there some way around this?
Can we set a special serializer/deserializer for DateTime that will convert it 
to Utc (DateTime.ToUniversalTime()) upon serializing and assume it it Utc when 
deserializing?

I know there are hooks to set a custom factory method for classes, but I don't 
know how that would work for immutable objects like DateTime.
