NO, that is another matter entirely.

The true meaning of "time zone" is "the set of places, wet or dry, which
all have the same difference from GMT except perhaps in their local
Summer" = "time zone" refers to "Standard Time".

The JavaScript Date Object's getTimezoneOffset is wrongly named; should
be getTimeOffset.

Those who remember the beginning of "'—And He Built a Crooked House—'"
will not be surprised.

True.  But it will rarely be necessary to list the classification of
days 0 to 6.  Both of the following work well (but note that to detect
the working week requires the opposite answer).

        X = !!(i%6)
        i + " " + X + "<br>"

        i + " " + !!(i%6) + "<br>"
