support "TimeZones" as a timezone
---------------------------------

                 Key: MPIR-171
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPIR-171
             Project: Maven 2.x Project Info Reports Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.1.2
            Reporter: James Nord
            Priority: Trivial


The POM XSD defiens the TimeZone as an xs:string (although the descriptions 
says an integer between -11 and 12)

If the desctription is enforced you can not be in a timezone that is not a 
multiple of 1 hour away from UTC (e.g. certain parts of india)

So the description is wrong and it's just a String.  
So why not support a full formatted timezone such as Europe/London, then the 
mpir can use funky javascript to show your actual time including any daylight 
saving offset. (as opposed to a fixed offset from GMT ignoring DST changes)

e.g. support
        <developers>
                <developer>
                        <id>bob</id>
                        <name>Bob Hacker</name>
                        <email>b...@example.com</email>
                        <timezone>Europe/London</timezone>
                        <roles>
                                <role>developer</role>
                        </roles>
                </developer>
        </developers>

Currently the site shows NaN for the Current time.
