I know. I did say the representation was unambiguous, didn't I? :-)
I'ts just not good enough for read-write invariance of an
apr_exploded_time_t.

(Besides -- time zones Alpha..Zulu are defined in terms of UTC, not GMT,
so if we marshal in GMT but mark the time zone as Z, we do lose
information. If you care about leap seconds, that is. :-p )
