Perhaps we need a requirement for an option to use GMT in the SMF header, or maybe to just use TOD timestamps. It would be nice to have the GMT offset in the records too, but this would require changes in the record structure which will be harder to do.
The easiest would be to keep existing formats, but add a new SMF record type that would record clock information whenever that is changed (including the daylight savings transition), and provide the IPL settings.
While it would be lovely to have only TOD timestamps, there is no business case for a complete SMF rewrite.
