date Info page should mention %s -> human for non GMT too

[Dan Jacobson]

In the date Info manual, it says,
 
     To convert such an unwieldy number of seconds back to a more
     readable form, use a command like this:

          date -d '1970-01-01 946684800 sec' +"%Y-%m-%d %T %z"
          2000-01-01 00:00:00 +0000

$ date -R
Sun, 25 Feb 2001 01:14:58 +0800
$ date +%s
983034903
$ date -Rd '1970-01-01 983034903 sec'
Sat, 24 Feb 2001 17:15:03 +0800
$ date -Rd '1970-01-01 08:00 983034903 sec'
Sun, 25 Feb 2001 01:15:03 +0800

Therefore the page should mention what tricks [08:00] one needs to deal
with non London time zones.
