From the numbers and the standard additions dictionary:
AppleScript knows nothing of time zones.
Yet, the current date osax command returns the date using the time
zone specified set in the mac's preferences.
So the date class is time zone neutral but current date commands knows
about time zones.
This may be worth a bug/feature request for numbers.

I didn't discover this "feature"; I learned of it from someone
else. But is it a bug or is it as designed?
It does mean that when using that time in other applications, such
as creating an event in iCal, you have to subtract "time to GMT"
from it to get the correct time in the event.
