Request that Drupal's date/time system allow for Daylight Saving Time. Thoughts on implementation follow:

Start and End dates for Daylight Savings Time could be user-definable. A checkbox would determine whether or not the user wants to use Daylight Savings Time. If so, two sets of dropdown boxes would allow the user to configure when daylight savings time starts and when it ends, such as "Daylight Savings Time begins: First Sunday of April at 1 a.m. local time" or "Daylight Savings Time ends: Last Sunday of October at 1 a.m. UTC"

There would be a global site setting for this as well, which would determine DST settings for unauthenticated users. This would be the default for each user, as well.
