Er. Your whole line of argument with this LHHT thing has been that any random fact (e.g. D always means 1:00 and not 0:30) that happens to be true of the data today is a standard that must be adhered to. No, I didn't claim that the consistent usage of D in %s is a random fact. And what you write now differs from your statement that I commented, but you deleted: --------part 1-----------
If the tz database consisted of only US timezones, it would be true "within the current tz database" that daylight savings is always D (or W or P) and never S (which means Standard time). Did anyone claim something different?
--------part 2-----------
That doesn't mean there is a rule that it always _has to be_ one of those letters. Did anyone claim there is such a rule?
