Well, it ensures that you can interpret the produced string (i.e.,
find the original time_t value) without needing to know how $TZ or
/etc/localtime might have been set when the string was generated.  But
you lose the knowledge of how the rest of the system interprets the
same time_t value, so that value is of limited, uh, value.
