  | So I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is some unwritten accepted 
  | practice of referring to Australian daylight saving time as EDT 

As Philip said, there has been a lot of disscussion of this topic over
the years - check the list archives - and I doubt there's much to be
gained by doing it all again.   Referring to summer time as "daylight
saving time" is relatively common in normal usages, though it is actually
defined as "summer time" in most of the Aust jurisdictions (the states are
in charge, not the Commonwealth govt) - but actual use of the string "EDT"
is (or was, the last time I looked) relatively rare.
