I understand that, but imho local jitter is better than global jitter.
Just about everyone knows their offset from UTC, DST or no DST. I know
the wiki has the infomation regarding the UTC times from Eastern, but
very often this isn't what people - me included - are told when they
ask. If I was given an UTC time then there would have been _no_ confusion.
