Comment:

 > currently we intend the settings endpoint to be used only for settings
 that can be updated

 My mistake about this part - sitting next to @jshreve and he pointed out
 that this is possible to update via wp-admin.

 This ticket also made me think of the general need to expose `gmt_offset`
 and other data to API clients that may not have `manage_options`
 capability.  For Quick Draft this is currently done via
 `wp_localize_script` which isn't a great solution
