I understand that we want to make sure that developers will think about their intentions, but it might be inconvenient/irritating, especially if in most cases they will use current timezone. Moreover I would like to change timezone identifiers names: "current" to "CurrentTimeZone" and "none" to "ignoreTimeZoneChanges" (I prefer to use "ingnore...Changes" over "no..." or "none" since it would be self-explanatory to me).

IMO, if we do get agreement to go optional, it would be nice to have this as:

{timezone: timezone | none | current }  

Less typing and legible (and no need for uppercase letters) - I also like none, because it's a nice carry over from CSS. So, some examples:

new ScheduledTask(date, {timezone: "GMT+1"});

var props = {timezone: "PST", data: {...}}
new ScheduledTask(date, props);



new ScheduledTask(date, {timezone: "none"});

and so on…
