Why? According to my understanding the Z says that the given time is 
a UTC time. So the system has to convert the value to local time anyway.

Mythtv-status says for example:

Scheduled Recordings:
2012-11-07 14:00:00Z - Snooker: Asian Players Tour Championship 2012 - 3.  
Turnier in Zhengzhou (CHN) (Eurosport Deutschland)
