I thought I understood the behaviour of timestamp values, but now I've just 
been reading the tutorial:
http://www.h2database.com/html/tutorial.html#date_time
and I got confused. It says:

"Date, time and timestamp values support ISO 8601 formatting, including 
time zone:

CALL TIMESTAMP '2008-01-01 12:00:00+01:00';

If the time zone is not set, the value is parsed using the current time 
zone setting of the system ....'"

I took "if the time zone is not set" to mean "if a time zone is not 
included with the timestamp value".

But then, given the actual behaviour, I can only make sense of this if I 
change it to the _opposite_, i.e. to read something like:
"If a time zone is included with the timestamp value, the value is parsed 
using the current time zone setting of the system".

It appears that timestamp values _without_ a time zone are parsed _without_ 
using the current time zone setting of the system.

(The actual behaviour seems to be all fine; it's the wording of this 
tutorial text that
I don't get ... at least, I think it's that way around!)
