Ok, so this sounds like JDBC doesn't distinguish with-timezone and
without-timezone at all so trying to base the semantics on the spec is
hopeless; we should just pick something that's sensible and do that.

I still think my suggestion of using the two setTimestamp methods to
support the two types makes sense -- but I'm out of time to deal with
this, sorry.
