Currently, the description says that +ve numbers are westwards of UTC.
Typically, timezones are specified with +ve numbers running east of Greenwich.
For example, San Francisco is specified as UTC-8. Also, when calling
time.Localtime(), the following is returned on my box in PDT:

{Year:2009 Month:10 Day:5 Hour:18 Minute:55 Second:6 Weekday:1 ZoneOffset:-25200
Zone:PDT}

Note that the ZoneOffset is negative. This leads me to suspect that the
description is mistaken.
