\begin{funcdesc}{mktime_tz}{tuple}
Turn a 10-tuple as returned by \function{parsedate_tz()} into a UTC
-timestamp. It the timezone item in the tuple is \code{None}, assume
+timestamp. If the timezone item in the tuple is \code{None}, assume
local time. Minor deficiency: this first interprets the first 8
elements as a local time and then compensates for the timezone
difference; this may yield a slight error around daylight savings time
