	WWVB does have a bit that accounts for it, but most of those
clocks just try to update once a day, and if they take a single bit
error in the minute or two they check, they'll miss it.

	Also, many of them don't truly implement the DST mechanism;
but relied on an internal calendar that told them when it would be
due, and otherwise tend to disregard that bit.

	Move to Arizona, it worked for me ;)  I no lonver have to
play DST games, and it's quite refreshing.
