Is "EDST" the standard abbreviation for North American eastern daylight
savings time? Funny, if so --- the standard (winter) timezone
abbreviations for North American and Australian eastern time are both
"EST", but during daylight savings that become "EDT" vs "EDST". (If
it's ambiguous in frex an international context, Australian zones gets
an "A" prefixed, hence AEST -- it is Australia's eastern standard time,
not the time of eastern Australia.)
