Well, getDSTSavings() is the difference between getStandardOffset() and getOffset() for any given instant. > On a related note, does getStandardOffset return the same value regardless > of the instant passed in? If so, why does it take an argument? The standard offset can and does changes over time. For example, if the UK moved to have its clocks on the same time as France and Germany, the standard offset would change from zero to one hour.
