Hmmm. I'm in a pedantic mood today, but I think this is worth raising. "09:44 EDT" - what is that?
I'm presuming Nic (emailing from bigpond and presumably in Australia) means "Eastern Daylight Time" which I assume he means Eastern Standard Time + 1 hour for daylight savings. I thought it was suppoed to be AEST for Australian Eastern Summer Time, but I also recall (a long time ago) it being said that there is no standard name for daylight savings time zones in Australia. We have EST, CST and WST - but no offical names for summer. Is this still correct? I always use 09:44 (UT+11) to remove all ambiguity. I would encourage all time-nuts to use the same system because it is completely unambiguous and can be used wordwide.
