RE: [Zope] insane Central Daylight Time, Zope 2.2.2

:( The problem is that DT is probably trying to do too much with magical timezone recognition. At some point, some bonehead (and I suspect it probably was me) accepted a request to add CDT to the mapping without noticing that it is a good example of an ambiguous timezone name.

The problem now is how to fix it - we could change it to mean 'CDT' (american central daylight time), but I suspect I'll then get another bug report from somewhere in Europe telling me that now its broken for them :( I never heard of "CDT" as a synonym for "GMT+2".

The official timezone name of central Europe is "CET" or "CEST" (daylight saving), replacing the older "MET" and "MEST". Dieter
