Thanks for that.  Looks like that's just what ERXTimeZoneDetector is doing.

Good point.  The offset alone will certainly be sufficient for my needs for now.

It looks like ERXTimeZoneDetector is trying to allow for that, though, isn't it 
Ramsey?  It should pick _a_ zone with the correct offset and whether or not it 
observes DST, just not necessarily _the_ zone that the user is in.  That's 
certainly good enough for me—I don't plan to display the chosen zone back to 
the user.  As long as it's functionally the correct zone, that's perfect.
