Your RSS Feeds show the wrong times for calendars. If you check out our calendar: http://www.localendar.com/public/DrBrass you will see that on May 29, the event runs from 7-8. However, if you go to the feed: http://www.localendar.com/public/DrBrass?style=D4, you will see that the same date shows a time of 8:00. This is due to DST which your feeds do not seem to take account for. If you can make the website show the correct time, then why not the feed?

When I look at the raw RSS, is has the correct time for that event
<pubDate>Wed, 29 May 2013 19:00:00 CST</pubDate>

However, when I view it with an RSS reader, it knows that I am in EST, so it adjusts the date to my local tz.

Are you looking at the raw data, or through a feed reader?

The issue has nothing to do with DST. An event that is entered as starting at 7pm will always be displayed as starting at 7pm. DST does not enter into the picture. If Jeopardy comes on every night at 7PM, then it comes on at 7PM. It doesn't suddenly come on at 8pm when DST is in effect.

DST comes into play when you are firing of a reminder for an event, and you have to know the user's local time.
