Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [VOTE] DateTime and Daylight Saving Time Transitions
From: thomas@nunninger.info (Thomas Nunninger)

Hi,

sorry for late comment.

You write: "The ST or DST modifiers can only be used when specifying times 
during the backward transition period. Using the modifiers at other times 
will throw an exception in object-oriented style code while procedural style 
code will return false without triggering errors."

In my opinion this makes code more difficult as I need to check if the time is 
in the transition time. In my opinion it should be ok to add (D)ST all the 
time when it is (D)ST - and I don't see that it should be wrong (but I don't 
know enough about standard formats). Just ignore it internally if you don't 
need that information.

Thomas
