And a lot of apps will only ever show you the *current* string and offset
for the zone in a dropdown, even if a different one would be in effect on
the date that's actually in question for a given operation.  Though some
edge cases around transition times make this hard to generalize with 100%
accuracy, I've not seen many handle it particularly well.  (I even draw the
line at various places for my own handful of personal projects, considering
expected audience, seasonality, etc.)
