I completely understand why you don't want to try and parse the Short Timezone names, but what about long ones like America/Los_Angeles? Why can't those be parsed? It would make it a LOT easier since I need to have the timezone which accounts for DST, and I always have been using the Long Name's. Currently I just have a REGEX that I use to parse out the bits and pieces, and then use them all individually to create the DateTime object.
