I'll try to be a bit specific, I need to know if a user is currently in daylight savings time. For instance my time zone is listed as London (this is where I live) GMT +0 however the UK is currently in British Summer Time (BST) which is GMT +1. The api will report that I'm in GMT +0 when I'm not.
I ask this but I think I know the anwser, does the API have any knowledge of a user's actual time zone (inc DST) without the user having to change their TZ whenever their clock changes?
