The text is only an output value. The time object still keeps the offset. Most interfaces now actually show the offset and the zone name. So, what is the problem with either leaving like it was or showing both the zone name and the zone offset. Also, with this new change, I don't see a way of getting the zone acronym without writing a new library, but that is already in the time library. Please explain more the reason. I am confused.

Windows XP gives us translated = Timezone name that makes life difficult.
