You don't think that it's an issue that the OPs users will complain about their time being inaccurate?  If I register in what we in the US call Eastern Time Zone, I don't want to have to switch to Atlantic time zone just because the form designer couldn't be bothered to include a time zone that actually matched the function of the clocks in my area.  

Pedantry about the definition of a time zone is not going to win you points with irate users.
