Referring to summer time as "daylight saving time" is relatively common in normal usages, though it is actually defined as "summer time" in most of the Aust jurisdictions (the states are in charge, not the Commonwealth govt) - but actual use of the string "EDT" is (or was, the last time I looked) relatively rare. kre
