--- Comment #15 from Brent Fulgham <bfulgham at webkit.org> ---
The daylight-savings sensitivity is actually a useful thing to test. After all, real world code needs to deal with this stuff! However, I do think it would be better to have specific Daylight Savings Time tests so it would be very clear when these start failing that it is related to the time of year.

What makes this more difficult is that the DST logic can change from year-to-year (based on law).

But I agree that all of our stock date tests should use specific dates and times. To exercise 'now' we should probably place this in its own test with DST logic or special code to account for DST.
