Why not simply stay in UTC +/- local calculation and forget about DST.
What's an hour here or there for 6 or 7 months a year? (Dependant on the
whim of the U.S. and Canadian Governments)

We could just call it DST. That would save us that discussion. What about
maybe having a section in the general options that contains a check box
for
using or not using DST, with some combo boxes that allow you to set the
parameters? For instance, a combo box with first, second, ETC, followed
by
one with the days of the week, then months, then another box with ordinal
numbers so that the second parameter can be set?
I am of two minds in this discussion. We need to make sure that we set it
up so that it's universal. It can't just work for people in the USA (I
type
from Southern Illinois). This universality might make the form complex
and
add too many options that need to be set. This might make it a bad idea.
On the other hand, WordPress should be as easy to use as possible. It's
kinda annoying that I have to go in and remember to set the timezone
offset
twice a year or my comments and posts will have incorrect timestamps on
them. This is something that seems like a minor issue, but may increase
the
usability for people who want things to just work.
