I never gave much thought to tz abbreviations until I moved to Ireland and encountered the very ambiguous IST.

Might as well use LOL for all the meaning any of them have.

So, using -04:00 just isn't an option, sorry.
LST, or LT, or almost anything else like that is possible - there's no need
for it not to be ambiguous, or to be useful, that's already a lost cause,
just for it to be syntactically consistent with current expectations.
What about something like UNKNOWN or ZZZ or so, then? LST gives the impression that it makes sense when it doesn't.
