Actually I'm not sure anymore whether NOT specifying a timezone is valid at all.

Even though the Spidermonkey documentation itself states, that it doesn't 
behave according to the ISO standard, several documents say that specifying the 
timezone is crucial (either "Z" or "+/-XX:XX").

I also found documents describing the standard which explicitly state that by 
default the local time is assumed, as JavaScript does.

Either way - there's so much different information and therewith confusion out 
there, that I highly recommend always specifying the timezone and would 
consider behaving otherwise as a bug.

Implementations usually don't throw an error but just assume something when the 
TZ designator is missing, which results in just different meanings. Needless to 
say that doesn't make the situation any better.
