These discussions are a bit bogus in my opinion, there is already a de-facto standard to call it MET, so why change.
But my comment was that, before that, there was a de-facto standard to call it CET, so why was it changed.
In the same spirit we could question the addition "DST". The term "Daylight Saving Time" is (as far as I know) truly US. Here it is called "Summer Time" in all languages that I know.
True. I'd much rather see CEST than CETDST which just strikes me as over long-winded and, again, not something which anyone says. -- Peter H.C.
