Are there any sites that specifically endorse the practice of using *ST to refer to "Summer Time"
There are some, yes. There are even some that use *DT to designate "Summer Time" (not "Daylight Time"). You can see examples of these, and of some other practices, at <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2009-January/015378.html>.
tzcode doesn't have a strptime or getdate implementation at all.
Parsing dates is hard, unfortunately. Neither strptime nor getdate is satisfactory. And they're somewhat outside tz's scope.
