Wikipedia says : "Een tijdzone is een gebied op aarde met gelijke
(standaard)tijd." - and I leave it to you to add the missing space.
Search the page for "zomer" - the first occurrence is wrong and the last
four are off-topic.

It also says "Als er in een land zomertijd gebruikt wordt, kan
standaardtijd verwijzen naar de wintertijd."



Even the Americans sometimes get it right - *Mountain Standard Time* is
used in Winter and Mountain Daylight Time in Summer.  But what they use
during summer nights is not lexically obvious.

Well. you can read about it at
<http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Maison_biscornue_(nouvelle)> or in the
obvious alternative.  Apparently nl.wikipedia ignores it.  Hut you need
Heinlein's original to see my point.  Recommended - a short classic.




Servers on the world-wide Internet ought to be set to GMT, or UTC if
they can handle it.  But I recall using the news server of a Californian
company with the NewNews protocol, and it became obvious that it was
"keeping" Local Civil Time (LCT) - or at least using GMT during part of
the year and being altered by an hour in Spring and Autumn.


FYI, I still want to locate the definitely definitive definition of the
chosen Lunar Correction expression in Clavius's Opera Mathematica V.
