To use "EST/EDT" instead of "AEST/AEDT" in Antartica as is by this patch:
http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-April/018994.html

and EST as is done by the IANA time zone database, could be a source
of future confusion and discussion.

Especially if other countries that have an EST/EDT abbreviated time
inherited their abbreviations to AQ-zones.

This is a vote to use AEST/AEDT, or switch completely to
Internationalized time point unique abbreviations.
