I'm afraid that I'm not understanding the proposal; could you write up
Irish time as a specific example to help explain it? Remember, the
problem is not whether Java can be changed to support negative DST
offsets (or, for that matter, whether it can be changed to support the
new feature you're proposing). The problem is how to transition from the
old to the proposed system without breaking anything significant, even
when some components are old and some are new.
