Bug Description
DateTimeZone.py has the wrong start and end dates for the DST change for the US. For example it has 1175421600 as the time to switch to DST for US/Pacific which is April 1, 2007 and it should be Mar 11, 2007 for the changeover which is about 1173596400 (that is probably off by a few hours since the switchover is not right at midnight)
So this means that for the US all viewing of times in zope is currently wrong which is a pretty severe issue.
DateTimeZone.py is used by a lot of stuff in DateTime.py
