What would be so bad about giving datetime objects a DST flag? Apps that don't care could ignore it and get results no worse than the status quo.

This would neatly solve the round-trip problem, but will open a different can of worms: what happens to the dst flag when you add a timedelta? If dst flag is optional, should you be able to compare dst-aware and dst-naive instances?
