There isn't. But there also isn't a problem if it is set to 0 for Irish Standard Time.
Fine. So, in the real world, how much software would fail if Irish Standard Time weren't considered "daylight saving time" in the sense of "tm_isdst is set to 1"? Perhaps they *shouldn't* have made any assumptions about what "Daylight Saving Time" meant, but, in practice, I suspect that rather a lot of people think "Daylight Saving Time", or "Daylight Savings Time", or "summer time", means "the clocks get turned forwards". If the clocks don't get turned forwards, I suspect calling that "Daylight Saving Time" would be a Bad Idea, no matter *what* the ISO C standard allows.
