While I'm glad we're not discussing whether or not the RTC is set to UTC or TAI or local time, I do want my computers to display to /me/ the correct date and time corresponding to my location. And when I travel, I expect my phone to switch its display automatically, using some reasonably up-to-date tables. Cheers, David.
