I'm certain there is *no* documented use of "ESuT" as an abbreviation within Australia

Sorry, but that's incorrect. "ESuT" is commonly used by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. This has been discussed on this list before; please see <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2001-April/011521.html> and <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2010-June/016235.html>. Unfortunately I forgot about ESuT and CSuT when I did my most-recent survey of time zone abbreviation usage in Australia, so we don't have measurements (as imprecise as they are) about how popular these abbreviations are in practice. Some software does support ESuT/CSuT; e.g., see <http://support.novell.com/docs/Tids/Solutions/10051032.html>.
