Sorry for the slow follow up, I didn't notice the comment hit my inbox and
forgot about this until it reared its head again. Perhaps 'inconvenient' is a
better description than incorrect, but users dealing with multiple time zones
are being confused between Australia and US when they see the abbreviations on
timestamps; the amount of display space allocated to this is limited, which is
why abbreviations are being used, but I would expect AEST/AEDT instead of
EST/EDT as per:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Australia
and
