But no, it's not a pointless thing. Because people will say that something occurs in one particular time zone, and I'll convert it under that assumption. Only for them to then turn around and blame me for being an hour late because they said standard time when they meant daylight time. Time communications should always be done in UTC first, with other time zones giving as optional extras, specified in terms of their UTC offset explicitly, alongside their name.
The important thing is the time gets communicated, and in the US outside states that don't observe daylight saving time, I just assume the vernacular time for that zone.
