Date vs Daylight Savings

The consistent behavior across all browsers of Date when passed a time
made invalid by a DST jump is to roll the time *back* by an hour.
// On a system with Pacific TZ
new Date(2011, 2, 13, 2, 0, 0, 0);
Sun Mar 13 2011 01:00:00 GMT-0800 (PST)
Mainly out of curiosity, is there a thread or a simple explanation of
why back instead of forward? Am I incorrect in assuming most systems
push the time forward?
Thanks,
L
