Description
Two timezones, "IET" and "America/Indianapolis", started using dayling saving time.
Timezone display names for en_CA locale need to be updated.

The same update is necessary in 6.0update, 5.0update, and 1.4.2update.
Comments
EVALUATION wrong analysis in the first evaluation. This is still en_CA specific bug. Below is comments from ###@###.### The locale data for en_CA has the following lines: {"IET", new String[] {/*--America/Indianapolis--*/ "Eastern Standard Time", "EST", "Eastern Standard Time", "EST" /*Indianapolis*/}}, {"America/Indianapolis", new String[] {"Eastern Standard Time", "EST", "Eastern Standard Time", "EST" /*Indianapolis*/}}, while locale data for other locales have the following: String EST[] = new String[] {"Eastern Standard Time", "EST", "Eastern Daylight Time", "EDT"}; Yes, this is en_CA specific problem. The third and forth items in the String array in datafile for en_CA should be replaced with "Eastern Daylight Time" and "EDT".

SUGGESTED FIX In TimeZoneNames_en_CA.java or DateFormatZoneData_en_CA.java, < "Eastern Standard Time", "EST" /*Indianapolis*/}}, --- > "Eastern Daylight Time", "EDT" /*Indianapolis*/}},
