Hm, perhaps. 

My understanding is/was that some names are recognized (such as CET for
central europe or PST for pacific standard time). These maps to (the
equivalent of) GMT+1 (for CET). Ie. I thought we had a synctactic requirement
(must start with a letter and be at least three letters long) and a
semantic (must belong to this particular set). If a function such as
mktime() encounters something it cannot parse it wil just assume GMT.

If this is correct, why not just use "GMT" rather than "STD" and "DST"?
