RFC 4517 says:
   The "Z" form of <g-time-zone> SHOULD be used in
   preference to <g-differential>.

The primary reason for this is interoperability.  Not all
implementations can deal (well) with g-differential.  It

should be avoided (on the wire).

Another consideration is that g-differential may be different in a
given location, depending on the date.

For example, in California, we are -0800 during the fall/winter
and -0700 during the spring/summer due to daylight savings
silliness.
