Yup, sorry, AEST.<br>

That was the point of the other bloke in my "discussion".
The problem is that AEST stipulates that you are GMT+10.
If you go to GMT+11 at some random date in the year then
you aren't at AEST anymore (hence AEDST). "Standard"
doesn't imply that most people are covered by that timezone.
It implies you are using "normal" time (i.e. not a time
that's artificially altered so you get another hour down the
beach of an evening :)<br>
