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.
