I am not really sure how you would determine which would be the "correct"
one, but I would favor for the ISO number value.
I guess, if you wanted to, you could throw an error or return undef if
PDT doesn't match the ISO number value. Granted this would require
Time::Zone to make the comparison. On systems without Time::Zone you
could simply ignore it.
