If you're going to put timezones in the logfiles, you pretty much have
to use ISO-8601 date formats, and resolve to stick to numeric offsets.
As we're discovering on irc, trying to convert from abbreviations to
meaningul data is a fool's game.  Switching to YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+HH:MM
is the only sane option.
