Using the name "Pacific Time" for both a fixed time and one that observes daylight savings will clearly cause confusion among people all over the US and Canada (and beyond).

And the best way to cause even greater confusion is for the new name “Pacific Time” to refer to UTC-7.

if the tm_isdst flag is flipped, people will see "Pacific Daylight Time".

I wonder if that is exactly what some folks want, particularly those who are selling this as “permanent daylight saving time” instead of permanent standard time with a different UTC offset, which is what it really is. -- Doug Ewell, CC, ALB | Lakewood, CO, US | ewellic.org
