If this reversion of behavior is done, it's only fair that it reverts  
all the way to pre2.2 behavior, where the date was sent in the time  
zone of the *blog* and not GMT.

The issue here is that all changes are breaking *somebody*. I think we  
should either swallow the medicine and take a fully qualified date  
(with time zone information), or go back to the stone ages to maximize  
compatibility with all existing clients (because they had built-in  
this assumption that no-time-zone from WordPress means "blog time").
