Or better yet, UTC or GMT since probably more people in the world know their offset relative to that, than EST.

True. We know our current offset from UTC (or legacy 'GMT'). I always use the real offset at that time. Thus, I just inform my clock saying UTC-3 (or UTC-2 when we are in daylight savings time).
