"This member will have the value True for all instances except those that represent the second (chronologically) moment in time in an ambiguous case." [1]

Does this require any more clarification?

well, it certainly would if it were named somethign like "is_dst", but in the intereast of abslute calrity, how about we add something like:

"This member can not be set to force the DST adjustment to behave any differently than the tzinfo object implements it."

and/or

"This member is not an indicator of whether DST is currently in effect, but is only an indicator or which offset to use in ambiguous cases."
