Yes they reference it as "sometimes referred to as", but who actually
uses Wikipedia as a trusted source?
The majority of other government sponsored and educational references
will note the word without the "s".

"Daylight savings time" seems to be correct too.

Fix posted corrected "Daylights" to "Daylight" but did not fix
"Savings" to "Saving"
The correct term is "Daylight Saving Time"

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation
better.

There are also 2 "daylights" in user notes for function.date and
ref.datetime.
(I don't know how to edit usernotes).

Description:
------------
the documentation on for the date() function references "Daylights
Savings Time" and "Daylight Savings Time" in different places.
I know it's minor, but the correct term is "Daylight Saving Time"
without a trailing "s" on any of the words.
Thanks
