The JavaDoc for DateTimeFormat
(http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/api-release/index.html) says "Zone
names: Time zone names ('z') cannot be parsed" I'm not an expert, but
I think this is because there are duplicates in the three-character
time zone abbreviations. The "C" in CST could be Central, or it could
be China.

Whenever I need to read a zoned datetime, I use the zone id, "ZZZ".
