The convention is that if clocks are the same all year round and if this 
appears to be intended to be permanent, the isdst flag is zero even if 
the enabling legislation uses phrases like "daylight" or "summer".  An 
example of that is the Turks & Caicos change in November.

My vague impression is that that three-year period you're talking about 
was intended to be permanent.  I haven't researched this, though.
