Does this include the case of timezone naive datetimes? They get interpreted as UTC and then displayed in local time? Or do they get interpreted and displayed both in UTC?

Yes, timezone naive times are what Altair uses by default. They are interpreted and displayed as local times by every browser except Safari, which treats them as UTC and then displays them as local time.
