This will be more difficult - it comes not from lack of information, but from stubbornness. Actually, I always wondered why timezones were kept out of OSM. I know DST complicates tagging (it'll be the first thing I abolish when I become World Dictator), but it seem like a very usefull "political" boundary that I'd like to have in OSM. Appart from classroom use, I'd love to replace the unwieldy timezone selector of many programs with a clickable map generated from OSM. So, do timezones really "make no sense in OSM" ?
