See my previous mail - for all practical reasons - it is a waste of time. 
But as Russell Steinthal said - you could link to libastro (when its 
done?) and add it. Every government/institution that I know of uses the 
standard 'time' that everyone else uses (none of the date flip on sunset 
for example).

Basically my recommendation/opinion is this - Ignore it for now - if 
anyone sees that they need this sort of functionality or if they find it 
'desirable' - well then we can start worrying about it :)
