Both the v13 account service and the new reporting service will return 
different kind of values. 
The v13 account service uses the timezone ID, such as "Europe/Berlin". This 
is a good idea, as it can be used with timezone databases that have 
historical data and know how to convert between daylight saving time 
correctly.

The timezoneId field in the generated reports will give you the GMT offset. 
E.g. for one of our accounts this would be '(GMT+01:00) Berlin'. I could 
parse this value and work with the GMT offset, but the offset will change 
between summer/winter time. So I'd have to pull this report on daily basis 
and update the value in my database to track changes. 

What I also noticed is that the timezone will not be correct for historical 
data in the report. E.g. when I request a report for june, I won't get the 
correct summer time offset:
'Jun 1, 2011' - '(GMT+01:00) Berlin' -> should be +2
