Perhaps nothing should be output for the unknown timezone, to make it
behave like GNU date?  From the man page for date:

       %Z     time zone (e.g., EDT), or nothing if no  time  zone
              is determinable

I'm assuming of course that this applies for the "no argument" (or '%c')
version(s) of GNU date as well.

Probably not very important, but the "???" is a bit funny looking.
