Not much is wrong with it.   If it would come in a form of a patch and
without typos or mark-up mistakes, I or another committer would
probably apply it as an incremental improvement.   However, given that
additional effort is needed to apply your suggestion, I would rather
wait until a better solution is available.  Specifically, I don like
the duplication of time.localtime().tm_isdst recipe in daylight and
altzone.  Also, these variables should really be grouped together in
the docs.   I would like this to be done before a committer spends
time proofreading, fixing reST markup and committing the change.
