Comment(by jamierumbelow):

 Having the interface try to guess the user's timezone would be nice, but
 as far as the actual input goes, I think it would be a lot easier, more
 standardised and overall better if we used the Zoneinfo database
 specification for timezones.

 A full list can be found here:
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_zones_by_name
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_zones_by_name] - as you can see,
 the "TZ" field is a readable, descriptive specification of timezones.
 There could be an internal config file that contains all the timezones on
 that document and their relative offset.
