No.
Clive, you can reasonably argue it is a *nonsensical* term, but not
*meaningless*.
We know what it means -- a time of hte year when the rules are different
in the same geography.
I don't think it is too important what the label is, but it is great to
use a term that starts with a different letter from the other label,
which is all-too-often Standard. (S).
