   Interesting.  This is the first I've ever heard of anyone pushing for   
   permanent "standard" time.  As far as I know, the push has always been the   
   other way - for "permanent" DST.   
      
   Note that permanent DST is very close to what we have now, so it represents   
   the least change.
