Reserving D in %s for 1:00 offset as has been done over years, i.e. is established practice
I'm not quite following all the proposal in this area, but "D" also stands for "Double", as in BDST for British Double Summer Time. There is a similar usage of "H" for Half, as in CKHST for Cook Islands Half Summer Time. If memory serves, CKHST, UYHST, etc. are my own invention, while BDST is not: it comes from contemporaneous British sources. I came up with HST by analogy from DST.
