I still understand that it should be job of underlying system
functions. Org is only invoking addition by using system time:

add, or deduct time, then again to Org time representation.

That is all for system functions to know. Is not good on the higher
level (of Org) to start deciding about international issues that shall
be recorded in C libraries somewhere, time zone databases, etc
