 What is an obviously incorrect zone? If I work you in CQWW and you log my "obviously" correct by QRZ.com zone from Ohio, you'll lose the QSO since I'll be in zone 5 in Florida. But you will have lots of company.
I haven't followed it that closely, but I sense that a guy who leaves half a millisecond before sending his TU message will likely have me wrong. The guys who take a second are busy typing in the zone I sent.
Now if G4XYZ sends zone 27, I will correct that to zone 14.

 When you receive an obviously incorrect Zone (like the guy is from CA 
and sends something other than 3), do you log what he sends, or the 
correct Zone? You could be screwed either way, but logging the correct 
Zone seems the lesser of the evils.
