 datetime objects would consist of the UTC time, time zone and DST.

“time zone” information always entails DST information doesn't it? It
isn't proper time zone information if it doesn't tell you about DST.

That is, when you know the full time zone information, that includes
when (if ever) DST kicks on or off.

Or have I been spoiled by the Olsen database?

I was thinking timezone as the base offset from UTC; DST would be an
additional offset which changes (or may change) twice a year.
