I think that is actually what Dave is suggesting, but I don't really
agree with it. To me it's a feature not a bug that timezone input
and output are decoupled. Would you have the input code refuse to
recognize abbrevs that are inconsistent with the current timezone
setting, even though the user intentionally set them up that way?
