well, it wouldn't be the first time software documentation was wrong.
it's happened before, it happened here, and, sadly enough, it will
no doubt happen again.

it's Coordinated Universal Time, and the 3-letter abbreviation is UTC,
not UCT.  actually, most software I've seen tends to use GMT instead
of UTC anyways, but UCT isn't right at all.
