I'm concerned about this suggestion.

I feel that the abbreviation LST would add some unnecessary confusion 
since it could mean either
Local Standard Time, or Local Summer Time - ie: it gives no hint about 
the clock-advanced status. It, in fact, reminds me of the confused 
Australian
ST/ST situation.

And for those, such as me, that also use LST to represent Local Sidereal 
Time (in astronomy applications) it would be an extra layer of potential 
confusion.
