As explained before, it doesn't need to - because the format required by
the zone is the same format that's already present in the rule.

which is the desired abbreviation. Whether or not DST is applied is
irrelevant - while many rules *do* use "S" or an empty string to allow the
abbreviation for multiple zones to be generated from a single rule, that's
not a requirement, and formatting the zone's abbreviation for a particular
period doesn't require knowing whether or not DST is applied.
