Interesting, I've been using right/US/Pacific myself for ages but I
never experienced any pain from it. Then again, I never noticed
DateTime was getting stuff wrong until you pointed this out.

Lovely. Its always bugged me that DateTime carried all its own zone
information, but I guess even the datetime python modules punt in this
regard. What I'm currious to know is how this caused problems for
you, or your clients. I'd like to avoid those problems myself if I
can help it.
