Nivven solved the day/night issue when he created the concept of a ringworld.
A series of solar shades in close-orbit to hte primary -- in the original Ringworld, these also served as power collection devices, essentially, huge solar panels whose shadows created alternating day/night (in exactly equal proportions) around the entirety of the Ring itself.
So there WOULD be timezones, in the sense of local time (in similar spreads, IOW, one-hour ribbons). But there would also likely be a "master time", similar to GMT.
