There are bugs with both type 1 (regularly created datetimes) and type 2
(datetimes created using three letter timezones) timezone objects when
it comes to the daylight/standard time transition.  I've composed a
first draft of an RFC on how PHP should behave regarding these
transitions and am refining it with Derick.  I hope it will be finished
soon.  Once that's done, the code can be fixed to match the expected
behavior.

Yes, it would be great for this to be in 5.4.

Thanks,
