Linux (I've not run BSD) follows the standard, it doesn't reset my clock
when I dual boot with Windows and it does display the correct time.

   The standard is what it is.  mike miller questioned why linux and the
BSDs fail to follow it.  I guess you can feel better if you redefine what
they do as the new standard and ignore that some software do follow the
existing standard.

  The only fishy part is you doing your standard red herring drag.

  "History is irrelevant"? "The standard is what it (happens
to be at the
  moment)"?   No wonder we're in the mess we're discussing.
