My vote for this!

Btw., another use case is a documentation system where users need to 
document/record actions manually - and some of these actions happening around 
or within DST change need to be documented for the exact time of occurence. 
Now as this (human nature involved) sometimes happens some minutes/hours 
later, and the users have to manually enter the according timestamp, it is 
very important to know whether that timestamp is before or after the DST 
change.
