+ This change does not affect UT + offsets or abbreviations; it affects only whether timestamps are + considered to be standard time or daylight-saving time, as + expressed in the tm_isdst flag of C's struct tm type. + (Discrepancy noted by Derick Rethans.) This is wrong: the dst bit determines whether timestamps are considered to be daylight-saving time or not. The definition of the tm_isdst flag does not even mention standard time, and standard time is not an antonym to daylight-saving time.
In fact, any dictionary tells us that daylight-saving time is advanced, and not retarded, over the time used otherwise, and the case of Ireland shows us that standard time may agree with daylight-saving time. Michael Deckers.
