Have had the same in the past.  I had a prolonged disagreement with a client when we talked about maintenance windows using EST.  His point was that the S was for Standard, and Qld was the odd one out (i.e. non-standard).  So Standard was what Sydney and Melbourne were on.

That was a long and frustrating conversation.
