Although these (and the other Australian names given) seem to be correct, every Unix TZ setup I've ever seen uses EDT and EST for those zones, leading to utter stupidity from stuff like mail software that tries to sort by date -- those zone names are, for obvious reasons, interpreted as the US 04:00 and 05:00 zones. What do we have to do to get the correct names used?
