No plans at this point.  There's a basic problem in that %q/%Q doesn't have 
enough information to construct a timezone object that has DST rules and such 
so the only thing the library could do is assume the TZ doesn't have DST.  Of 
course, that mostly a poor assumption so it could lead to nasty errors...
