The place where this scheme falls down is that for many people the date (and day!) will change some time during the day. How strange that it be Wednesday before lunch and Thursday afterward.
Also for communication you still need to keep a table of when the sun rises and sets in each place; still need to keep in mind "they're x hours ahead/behind."
I travel extensively and work regularly with people in every time zone, and have thought long and hard about this problem. I don't think abandoning time zones is the solution, but abandoning DST globally would certainly help a lot.
