I guess that the designers chose to differenciate among `zero' and `not
specified' on the output of parse-time-string.
As for `encode-time', it takes each date-time component as an argument,
not the output of parse-time-string, which is a list. OTOH,
`encode-time' could interpret arguments with value `nil' as `zero'.
