Sigh. You didnt actually bother reading the lists did you Alex ? It
contains both PST and PDT which rarther blows that argument out of the water.
Did you not think that would be the first explanation I thought of and would
check the other zones ? There are many summertime/standard pairs in there.

The list is obviously wrong because it doesnt contain the current value
returned by the object! How can you possibly argue that that's correct
behaviour for *any* object ?
