w00t! Living document!

The challenge I am seeing so far, is "it depends upon whose tosser you use", 
and what does your uplink use...

Example (have not shared with the author yet), but, I realized the tosser I am 
using is putting ^ATZUTC: -0200 is being stored using JAMSFLD_FTSKLUDGE instead 
of JAMSFLD_TZUTCINFO as I would assume it should.

I especially like #5 - I hate the colors wikipedia uses, but, having the 
feature charts are very useful.
