As an aside, one must note that not all computer systems will be used
with the "local machine time" being equal to "local real time".  I can
see many applications where the system time will be UT or GMT.

If someone adds these auto-switch to xDT and back to xST, they must be
able to be defeated when somene is not working in an area where that
makes sense.  As an example think of the computers on board the Shuttles.
They more than likely keep UT.
