-# @(#)africa 8.23
-# This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of
-# 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson.
-
-# This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,
-# go ahead and edit the file (and please send any changes to
-# tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for general use in the future).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-#
-# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
-# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
-# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
-#
-# Gwillim Law writes that a good source
-# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
-# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
-# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
-# of the IATA's data after 1990.
-#
-# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for
-# entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.
-#
-# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
-# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
-# I found in the UCLA library.
-#
-# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
-# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
-#
-# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
-# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
-# but Mark R V Murray reports that
-# `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,
-# `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and
-# `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for
-# the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''.
-# He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference.
-#
-# To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
-# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
-# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
-# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
-# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
-#
-# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
-# -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used)
-# 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time
-# 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time
-# 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time
-# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
-# 1:00 WAT West Africa Time
-# I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
-# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
-# until we get more information.
-#
-# I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
-# 2:00 WAST West Africa Summer Time
-# 2:30 BEAT British East Africa Time (no longer used)
-# 2:44:45 BEAUT British East Africa Unified Time (no longer used)
-# 3:00 CAST Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used)

-# From Abdelrahman Hassan (2007-09-06):
-# Due to the Hijri (lunar Islamic calendar) year being 11 days shorter
-# than the year of the Gregorian calendar, Ramadan shifts earlier each
-# year. This year it will be observed September 13 (September is quite
-# hot in Egypt), and the idea is to make fasting easier for workers by
-# shifting business hours one hour out of daytime heat. Consequently,
-# unless discontinued, next DST may end Thursday 28 August 2008.

-# Mauritius plans to observe DST from 2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31 on a trial

-# It seems that Mauritius observed daylight saving time from 1982-10-10 to

-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2008-06-30):
-# The www.timeanddate.com article cited by Steffen Thorsen notes that "A

-

-# (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier
-# than previously announced (2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31). The new start
-# date is 2008-10-26 at 02:00 and the new end date is 2009-03-27 (no time
-# given, but it is probably at either 2 or 3 wall clock time).
-#
-# A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date
-# to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date,
-# but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in
-# USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November). I also wonder
-# why that they end on a Friday, instead of aligning with Europe which
-# changes two days later.
-
-# From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-07-11):
-# Seems that English language article "The revival of daylight saving
-# time: Energy conservation?"-# No. 16578 (07/11/2008) was originally
-# published on Monday, June 30, 2008...
-#
-# I guess that article in French "Le gouvernement avance l'introduction
-# de l'heure d'ete" stating that DST in Mauritius starting on October 26
-# and ending on March 27, 2009 is the most recent one.

-# From Gwillim Law (2005-04-30):
-# My correspondent, Risto Nykanen, has alerted me to another adoption of DST,
-# this time in Tunisia. According to Yahoo France News
-# <http://fr.news.yahoo.com/050426/5/4dumk.html>, in a story attributed to AP
-# and dated 2005-04-26, "Tunisia has decided to advance its official time by
-# one hour, starting on Sunday, May 1. Henceforth, Tunisian time will be
-# UTC+2 instead of UTC+1. The change will take place at 23:00 UTC next
-# Saturday." (My translation)

-# From Atef Loukil (2006-03-28):
-# The daylight saving time will be the same each year:

-# From Arthur David Olson (2009--3-18):
-# The Tunis Afrique Presse News Agency notice contains this: "This measure is due to the fact

-# Therefore, the standard time will be kept unchanged the whole year long."
-# So foregoing DST seems to be an exception (albeit one that may be repeated in the future).

-# Vostok, which is one of the Russian stations, is set on the same
-# time as Moscow, Russia.
-#
-# From Lee Hotz (2001-03-08):
-# I queried the folks at Columbia who spent the summer at Vostok and this is
-# what they had to say about time there:
-# ``in the US Camp (East Camp) we have been on New Zealand (McMurdo)
-# time, which is 12 hours ahead of GMT. The Russian Station Vostok was
-# 6 hours behind that (although only 2 miles away, i.e. 6 hours ahead
-# of GMT). This is a time zone I think two hours east of Moscow. The
-# natural time zone is in between the two: 8 hours ahead of GMT.''
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-04):
-# This seems to be hopelessly confusing, so I asked Lee Hotz about it
-# in person. He said that some Antartic locations set their local
-# time so that noon is the warmest part of the day, and that this
-# changes during the year and does not necessarily correspond to mean
-# solar noon. So the Vostok time might have been whatever the clocks
-# happened to be during their visit. So we still don't really know what time
-# it is at Vostok. But we'll guess UTC+6.

-# From Chris Carrier (1996-06-27):
-# Siple, the first commander of the South Pole station,
-# stated that he would have liked to have kept GMT at the station,
-# but that he found it more convenient to keep GMT+12
-# as supplies for the station were coming from McMurdo Sound,

-# We use the same time as McMurdo does.
-# And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
-# One last quirk about South Pole time.
-# All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
-# Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
-# makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
-# we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
-# Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!

-
-# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
-# No they don't. See TIME mag, 1986-02-17 p.52. Even though
-# China is across 4 physical time zones, before Feb 1, 1986 only the
-# Peking (Bejing) time zone was recognized. Since that date, China
-# has two of 'em -- Peking's and Urumqi (named after the capital of
-# the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). I don't know about DST for it.
-#
-# . . .I just deleted the DST table and this editor makes it too
-# painful to suck in another copy.. So, here is what I have for

-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Shanks & Pottenger write that China (except for Hong Kong and Macau)

-#
-# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2006-07-14):
-# I have investigated the timezones around 1970 on the
-# http://www.astro.com/atlas site [with provinces and county
-# boundaries summarized below].... A few other exceptions were two
-# counties on the Sichuan side of the Xizang-Sichuan border,

-# county is GMT+8 according to astro.com while Baiyu county is GMT+6
-# (could be true), for the moment I am assuming that those two
-# counties are mistakes in the astro.com data.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2008-02-11):
-# I just now checked Google News for western news sources that talk
-# about China's single time zone, and couldn't find anything before 1986
-# talking about China being in one time zone. (That article was: Jim
-# Mann, "A clumsy embrace for another western custom: China on daylight
-# time--sort of", Los Angeles Times, 1986-05-05. By the way, this
-# article confirms the tz database's data claiming that China began
-# observing daylight saving time in 1986.
-#
-# From Thomas S. Mullaney (2008-02-11):
-# I think you're combining two subjects that need to treated
-# separately: daylight savings (which, you're correct, wasn't
-# implemented until the 1980s) and the unified time zone centered near
-# Beijing (which was implemented in 1949). Briefly, there was also a
-# "Lhasa Time" in Tibet and "Urumqi Time" in Xinjiang. The first was
-# ceased, and the second eventually recognized (again, in the 1980s).
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2008-06-30):
-# There seems to be a good chance China switched to a single time zone in 1949
-# rather than in 1980 as Shanks & Pottenger have it, but we don't have a

-# From Luther Ma (2009-10-17):
-# Almost all (>99.9%) ethnic Chinese (properly ethnic Han) living in

-# but have no need of it. All planes, trains, and schools function on
-# what is called "Beijing time." When Han make an appointment in Chinese
-# they implicitly use Beijing time.
-#
-# On the other hand, ethnic Uyghurs, who make up about half the
-# population of Xinjiang, typically use "Xinjiang time" which is two
-# hours behind Beijing time, or UTC +0600. The government of the Xinjiang
-# Uyghur Autonomous Region, (XAUR, or just Xinjiang for short) as well as
-# local governments such as the Urumqi city government use both times in
-# publications, referring to what is popularly called Xinjiang time as
-# "Urumqi time." When Uyghurs make an appointment in the Uyghur language
-# they almost invariably use Xinjiang time.
-#
-# (Their ethnic Han compatriots would typically have no clue of its
-# widespread use, however, because so extremely few of them are fluent in
-# Uyghur, comparable to the number of Anglo-Americans fluent in Navajo.)

-# Georgia moved closer to Western Europe on Sunday... The former Soviet

-# Iran
-
-# From Roozbeh Pournader (2003-03-15):
-# This is an English translation of what I just found (originally in Persian).
-# The Gregorian dates in brackets are mine:
-#
-# Official Newspaper No. 13548-1370/6/25 [1991-09-16]
-# No. 16760/T233 H 1370/6/10 [1991-09-01]
-#
-# The Rule About Change of the Official Time of the Country
-#
-# The Board of Ministers, in the meeting dated 1370/5/23 [1991-08-14],
-# based on the suggestion number 2221/D dated 1370/4/22 [1991-07-13]
-# of the Country's Organization for Official and Employment Affairs,
-# and referring to the law for equating the working hours of workers
-# and officers in the whole country dated 1359/4/23 [1980-07-14], and
-# for synchronizing the official times of the country, agreed that:
-#
-# The official time of the country will should move forward one hour
-# at the 24[:00] hours of the first day of Farvardin and should return
-# to its previous state at the 24[:00] hours of the 30th day of
-# Shahrivar.
-#
-# First Deputy to the President - Hassan Habibi
-#
-# From personal experience, that agrees with what has been followed
-# for at least the last 5 years. Before that, for a few years, the
-# date used was the first Thursday night of Farvardin and the last
-# Thursday night of Shahrivar, but I can't give exact dates....
-# I have also changed the abbreviations to what is considered correct
-# here in Iran, IRST for regular time and IRDT for daylight saving time.
-#
-# From Roozbeh Pournader (2005-04-05):
-# The text of the Iranian law, in effect since 1925, clearly mentions
-# that the true solar year is the measure, and there is no arithmetic
-# leap year calculation involved. There has never been any serious
-# plan to change that law....
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Go with Shanks & Pottenger before Sept. 1991, and with Pournader thereafter.
-# I used Ed Reingold's cal-persia in GNU Emacs 21.2 to check Persian dates,
-# stopping after 2037 when 32-bit time_t's overflow.
-# That cal-persia used Birashk's approximation, which disagrees with the solar
-# calendar predictions for the year 2025, so I corrected those dates by hand.
-#
-# From Oscar van Vlijmen (2005-03-30), writing about future
-# discrepancies between cal-persia and the Iranian calendar:
-# For 2091 solar-longitude-after yields 2091-03-20 08:40:07.7 UT for
-# the vernal equinox and that gets so close to 12:00 some local
-# Iranian time that the definition of the correct location needs to be
-# known exactly, amongst other factors. 2157 is even closer:
-# 2157-03-20 08:37:15.5 UT. But the Gregorian year 2025 should give
-# no interpretation problem whatsoever. By the way, another instant
-# in the near future where there will be a discrepancy between
-# arithmetical and astronomical Iranian calendars will be in 2058:
-# vernal equinox on 2058-03-20 09:03:05.9 UT. The Java version of
-# Reingold's/Dershowitz' calculator gives correctly the Gregorian date
-# 2058-03-21 for 1 Farvardin 1437 (astronomical).
-#
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-03-22):
-# Several of my users have reported that Iran will not observe DST anymore:
-# http://www.irna.ir/en/news/view/line-17/0603193812164948.htm

-# [2007-10-16]. I am doing the best translation I can:...

-# From Jonathan Lennox (2000-06-12):
-# An article in this week's Economist ("Inside the Saddam-free zone", p. 50 in
-# the U.S. edition) on the Iraqi Kurds contains a paragraph:
-# "The three northern provinces ... switched their clocks this spring and
-# are an hour ahead of Baghdad."
-#
-# But Rives McDow (2000-06-18) quotes a contact in Iraqi-Kurdistan as follows:
-# In the past, some Kurdish nationalists, as a protest to the Iraqi
-# Government, did not adhere to daylight saving time. They referred
-# to daylight saving as Saddam time. But, as of today, the time zone
-# in Iraqi-Kurdistan is on standard time with Baghdad, Iraq.
-#
-# So we'll ignore the Economist's claim.

-# Israel
-
-# From Ephraim Silverberg (2001-01-11):
-#
-# I coined "IST/IDT" circa 1988. Until then there were three
-# different abbreviations in use:
-#
-# JST Jerusalem Standard Time [Danny Braniss, Hebrew University]
-# IZT Israel Zonal (sic) Time [Prof. Haim Papo, Technion]
-# EEST Eastern Europe Standard Time [used by almost everyone else]
-#
-# Since timezones should be called by country and not capital cities,
-# I ruled out JST. As Israel is in Asia Minor and not Eastern Europe,
-# EEST was equally unacceptable. Since "zonal" was not compatible with
-# any other timezone abbreviation, I felt that 'IST' was the way to go
-# and, indeed, it has received almost universal acceptance in timezone
-# settings in Israeli computers.
-#
-# In any case, I am happy to share timezone abbreviations with India,
-# high on my favorite-country list (and not only because my wife's
-# family is from India).

-# and 2005-02-17):
-
-# According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of
-# Interior, there is NO set rule for Daylight-Savings/Standard time changes.
-# One thing is entrenched in law, however: that there must be at least 150
-# days of daylight savings time annually. From 1993-1998, the change to
-# daylight savings time was on a Friday morning from midnight IST to
-# 1 a.m IDT; up until 1998, the change back to standard time was on a
-# Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time to 11 p.m. standard
-# time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the change back to standard
-# time took place on Sunday night instead of Saturday night to avoid
-# conflicts with the Jewish New Year. In 1999, the change to
-# daylight savings time was still on a Friday morning but from
-# 2 a.m. IST to 3 a.m. IDT; furthermore, the change back to standard time
-# was also on a Friday morning from 2 a.m. IDT to 1 a.m. IST for
-# 1999 only. In the year 2000, the change to daylight savings time was
-# similar to 1999, but although the change back will be on a Friday, it
-# will take place from 1 a.m. IDT to midnight IST. Starting in 2001, all
-# changes to/from will take place at 1 a.m. old time, but now there is no
-# rule as to what day of the week it will take place in as the start date
-# (except in 2003) is the night after the Passover Seder (i.e. the eve
-# of the 16th of Nisan in the lunar Hebrew calendar) and the end date
-# (except in 2002) is three nights before Yom Kippur [Day of Atonement]
-# (the eve of the 7th of Tishrei in the lunar Hebrew calendar).

-# `9:00' and `JST' is from Guy Harris.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1995-03-06):
-# Today's _Asahi Evening News_ (page 4) reports that Japan had
-# daylight saving between 1948 and 1951, but ``the system was discontinued
-# because the public believed it would lead to longer working hours.''
-
-# From Mayumi Negishi in the 2005-08-10 Japan Times
-# <http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?nn20050810f2.htm>:
-# Occupation authorities imposed daylight-saving time on Japan on
-# [1948-05-01].... But lack of prior debate and the execution of
-# daylight-saving time just three days after the bill was passed generated
-# deep hatred of the concept.... The Diet unceremoniously passed a bill to
-# dump the unpopular system in October 1951, less than a month after the San
-# Francisco Peace Treaty was signed. (A government poll in 1951 showed 53%
-# of the Japanese wanted to scrap daylight-saving time, as opposed to 30% who
-# wanted to keep it.)
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Shanks & Pottenger write that DST in Japan during those years was as follows:

-
-# From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-09):
-# 'Tokyo' usually stands for the former location of Tokyo Astronomical
-# Observatory: E 139 44' 40".90 (9h 18m 58s.727), N 35 39' 16".0.
-# This data is from 'Rika Nenpyou (Chronological Scientific Tables) 1996'
-# edited by National Astronomical Observatory of Japan....
-# JST (Japan Standard Time) has been used since 1888-01-01 00:00 (JST).
-# The law is enacted on 1886-07-07.
-
-# From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-16):
-# The ordinance No. 51 (1886) established "standard time" in Japan,
-# which stands for the time on E 135 degree.
-# In the ordinance No. 167 (1895), "standard time" was renamed to "central
-# standard time". And the same ordinance also established "western standard
-# time", which stands for the time on E 120 degree.... But "western standard
-# time" was abolished in the ordinance No. 529 (1937). In the ordinance No.
-# 167, there is no mention regarding for what place western standard time is
-# standard....

-# </a> (1999-09)
-# "Time: Mongolia has two time zones. Three westernmost provinces of

-# the rest of the country follows the Ulaanbaatar time, which is UTC/GMT plus

-

-# Mongolia discontinued the use of daylight savings time in 1999; 1998
-# being the last year it was implemented. The dates of implementation I am
-# unsure of, but most probably it was similar to Russia, except for the time
-# of implementation may have been different....
-# Some maps in the past have indicated that there was an additional time

-# Suhbaatar, and possibly Khentij.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1999-12-15):
-# Naming and spelling is tricky in Mongolia.
-# We'll use Hovd (also spelled Chovd and Khovd) to represent the west zone;
-# the capital of the Hovd province is sometimes called Hovd, sometimes Dund-Us,
-# and sometimes Jirgalanta (with variant spellings), but the name Hovd
-# is good enough for our purposes.
-
-# From Rives McDow (2001-05-13):
-# In addition to Mongolia starting daylight savings as reported earlier
-# (adopted DST on 2001-04-27 02:00 local time, ending 2001-09-28),
-# there are three time zones.

-# From Paul Eggert (2004-04-17):
-# For now, assume Rives McDow's informant got confused about Friday vs

-# I have been advised that Pakistan has decided to adopt dst on a

-# and ending at 00:01 local time October 6, 2002. This is what I was

-# Palestine
-
-# From Amos Shapir (1998-02-15):
-#
-# From 1917 until 1948-05-15, all of Palestine, including the parts now
-# known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, was under British rule.
-# Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too...
-#
-# The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948-05-15 until 1967-06-05
-# (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956-11 till 1957-03, but no
-# time zone was affected then). It was never formally annexed to Egypt,
-# though.
-#
-# The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally
-# annexed in 1950 as the West Bank (and the word "Trans" was dropped from
-# the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the
-# Trans-Jordan"). So the rules for Jordan for that time apply. Major
-# towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and
-# East Jerusalem.
-#
-# Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except
-# for East Jerusalem). They were on Israel time since then; there might
-# have been a Military Governor's order about time zones, but I'm not aware
-# of any (such orders may have been issued semi-annually whenever summer
-# time was in effect, but maybe the legal aspect of time was just neglected).
-#
-# The Palestinian Authority was established in 1993, and got hold of most
-# towns in the West Bank and Gaza by 1995. I know that in order to
-# demonstrate...independence, they have been switching to
-# summer time and back on a different schedule than Israel's, but I don't
-# know when this was started, or what algorithm is used (most likely the
-# Jordanian one).
-#
-# To summarize, the table should probably look something like that:
-#
-# Area \ when | 1918-1947 | 1948-1967 | 1967-1995 | 1996-
-# ------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------
-# Israel | Zion | Zion | Zion | Zion
-# West bank | Zion | Jordan | Zion | Jordan
-# Gaza | Zion | Egypt | Zion | Jordan
-#
-# I guess more info may be available from the PA's web page (if/when they
-# have one).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Shanks & Pottenger write that Gaza did not observe DST until 1957, but go
-# with Shapir and assume that it observed DST from 1940 through 1947,
-# and that it used Jordanian rules starting in 1996.
-# We don't yet need a separate entry for the West Bank, since
-# the only differences between it and Gaza that we know about
-# occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
-# However, as we get more information, we may need to add entries
-# for parts of the West Bank as they transitioned from Israel's rules
-# to Palestine's rules. If you have more info about this, please
-# send it to tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for incorporation into future editions.
-
-# From IINS News Service - Israel - 1998-03-23 10:38:07 Israel time,
-# forwarded by Ephraim Silverberg:
-#
-# Despite the fact that Israel changed over to daylight savings time
-# last week, the PLO Authority (PA) has decided not to turn its clocks
-# one-hour forward at this time. As a sign of independence from Israeli rule,
-# the PA has decided to implement DST in April.
-

-# <a href="http://www.jpost.com/com/Archive/22.Apr.1999/Opinion/Article-2.html">
-# Holiday havoc
-# </a> (Jerusalem Post, 1999-04-22) that
-# the Palestinian National Authority changed to DST on 1999-04-15.
-# I vaguely recall that they switch back in October (sorry, forgot the source).
-# For now, let's assume that the spring switch was at 24:00,
-# and that they switch at 0:00 on the 3rd Fridays of April and October.

-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2005-11-23):
-# A user from Gaza reported that Gaza made the change early because of

-# there is a good chance next year's end date will be around two weeks
-# earlier--the same goes for Jordan.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-08-17):
-# I was informed by a user in Bethlehem that in Bethlehem it started the
-# same day as Israel, and after checking with other users in the area, I
-# was informed that they started DST one day after Israel. I was not
-# able to find any authoritative sources at the time, nor details if

-
-# From Paul Eggert (2007-09-20):
-# My understanding is that Gaza and the West Bank disagree even over when
-# the weekend is (Thursday+Friday versus Friday+Saturday), so I'd be a bit
-# surprised if they agreed about DST. But for now, assume they agree.
-# For lack of better information, predict that future changes will be

-# [The Tamil Tigers] never accepted the original 1996 time change and simply
-# kept their clocks set five and a half hours ahead of Greenwich Mean
-# Time (GMT), in line with neighbor India.
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-04-18):
-# People who live in regions under Tamil control can use [TZ='Asia/Kolkata'],
-# as that zone has agreed with the Tamil areas since our cutoff date of 1970.
-
-# From K Sethu (2006-04-25):
-# I think the abbreviation LKT originated from the world of computers at
-# the time of or subsequent to the time zone changes by SL Government
-# twice in 1996 and probably SL Government or its standardization
-# agencies never declared an abbreviation as a national standard.
-#
-# I recollect before the recent change the government annoucemments
-# mentioning it as simply changing Sri Lanka Standard Time or Sri Lanka
-# Time and no mention was made about the abbreviation.
-#
-# If we look at Sri Lanka Department of Government's "Official News
-# Website of Sri Lanka" ... http://www.news.lk/ we can see that they
-# use SLT as abbreviation in time stamp at the beginning of each news
-# item....
-#
-# Within Sri Lanka I think LKT is well known among computer users and
-# adminsitrators. In my opinion SLT may not be a good choice because the
-# nation's largest telcom / internet operator Sri Lanka Telcom is well
-# known by that abbreviation - simply as SLT (there IP domains are
-# slt.lk and sltnet.lk).
-#
-# But if indeed our government has adopted SLT as standard abbreviation
-# (that we have not known so far) then it is better that it be used for
-# all computers.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-04-25):
-# One possibility is that we wait for a bit for the dust to settle down
-# and then see what people actually say in practice.

-
-# From John Mackin (1991-03-06):
-# We in Australia have _never_ referred to DST as `daylight' time.
-# It is called `summer' time. Now by a happy coincidence, `summer'
-# and `standard' happen to start with the same letter; hence, the
-# abbreviation does _not_ change...
-# The legislation does not actually define abbreviations, at least
-# in this State, but the abbreviation is just commonly taken to be the
-# initials of the phrase, and the legislation here uniformly uses
-# the phrase `summer time' and does not use the phrase `daylight
-# time'.
-# Announcers on the Commonwealth radio network, the ABC (for Australian
-# Broadcasting Commission), use the phrases `Eastern Standard Time'
-# or `Eastern Summer Time'. (Note, though, that as I say in the
-# current australasia file, there is really no such thing.) Announcers
-# on its overseas service, Radio Australia, use the same phrases
-# prefixed by the word `Australian' when referring to local times;
-# time announcements on that service, naturally enough, are made in UTC.
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (1992-03-08):
-# Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is:
-# CST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 9:30
-# WST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 8:00
-# EST for any place operating at a GMTOFF of 10:00
-
-# From Chuck Soper (2006-06-01):
-# I recently found this Australian government web page on time zones:
-# <http://www.australia.gov.au/about-australia-13time>
-# And this government web page lists time zone names and abbreviations:
-# <http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/daysavtm.shtml>
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-04-05), summarizing a long discussion about "EST"
-# versus "AEST" etc.:
-#
-# I see the following points of dispute:
-#
-# * How important are unique time zone abbreviations?
-#
-# Here I tend to agree with the point (most recently made by Chris
-# Newman) that unique abbreviations should not be essential for proper
-# operation of software. We have other instances of ambiguity
-# (e.g. "IST" denoting both "Israel Standard Time" and "Indian
-# Standard Time"), and they are not likely to go away any time soon.
-# In the old days, some software mistakenly relied on unique
-# abbreviations, but this is becoming less true with time, and I don't
-# think it's that important to cater to such software these days.
-#
-# On the other hand, there is another motivation for unambiguous
-# abbreviations: it cuts down on human confusion. This is
-# particularly true for Australia, where "EST" can mean one thing for
-# time T and a different thing for time T plus 1 second.
-#
-# * Does the relevant legislation indicate which abbreviations should be used?
-#
-# Here I tend to think that things are a mess, just as they are in
-# many other countries. We Americans are currently disagreeing about
-# which abbreviation to use for the newly legislated Chamorro Standard
-# Time, for example.
-#
-# Personally, I would prefer to use common practice; I would like to
-# refer to legislation only for examples of common practice, or as a
-# tiebreaker.
-#
-# * Do Australians more often use "Eastern Daylight Time" or "Eastern
-# Summer Time"? Do they typically prefix the time zone names with
-# the word "Australian"?
-#
-# My own impression is that both "Daylight Time" and "Summer Time" are
-# common and are widely understood, but that "Summer Time" is more
-# popular; and that the leading "A" is also common but is omitted more
-# often than not. I just used AltaVista advanced search and got the
-# following count of page hits:
-#
-# 1,103 "Eastern Summer Time" AND domain:au
-# 971 "Australian Eastern Summer Time" AND domain:au
-# 613 "Eastern Daylight Time" AND domain:au
-# 127 "Australian Eastern Daylight Time" AND domain:au
-#
-# Here "Summer" seems quite a bit more popular than "Daylight",
-# particularly when we know the time zone is Australian and not US,
-# say. The "Australian" prefix seems to be popular for Eastern Summer
-# Time, but unpopular for Eastern Daylight Time.
-#
-# For abbreviations, tools like AltaVista are less useful because of
-# ambiguity. Many hits are not really time zones, unfortunately, and
-# many hits denote US time zones and not Australian ones. But here
-# are the hit counts anyway:
-#
-# 161,304 "EST" and domain:au
-# 25,156 "EDT" and domain:au
-# 18,263 "AEST" and domain:au
-# 10,416 "AEDT" and domain:au
-#
-# 14,538 "CST" and domain:au
-# 5,728 "CDT" and domain:au
-# 176 "ACST" and domain:au
-# 29 "ACDT" and domain:au
-#
-# 7,539 "WST" and domain:au
-# 68 "AWST" and domain:au
-#
-# This data suggest that Australians tend to omit the "A" prefix in
-# practice. The situation for "ST" versus "DT" is less clear, given
-# the ambiguities involved.
-#
-# * How do Australians feel about the abbreviations in the tz database?
-#
-# If you just count Australians on this list, I count 2 in favor and 3
-# against. One of the "against" votes (David Keegel) counseled delay,
-# saying that both AEST/AEDT and EST/EST are widely used and
-# understood in Australia.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19):
-# Shanks & Pottenger report 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and NZ.
-# Mark Prior writes that his newspaper
-# reports that NSW's fall 1995 change will occur at 2:00,
-# but Robert Elz says it's been 3:00 in Victoria since 1970
-# and perhaps the newspaper's `2:00' is referring to standard time.
-# For now we'll continue to assume 2:00s for changes since 1960.

-# From Rives McDow (2002-04-09):
-# The most interesting region I have found consists of three towns on the

-# much and set the local time 20 hours and 45 minutes from the
-# international date line, or right in the middle of the time of South
-# Australia and Western Australia....

-# From Paul Eggert (2002-04-09):

-#
-# From Alex Livingston (2006-12-07):
-# ... it was just on four years ago that I drove along the Eyre Highway,
-# which passes through eastern Western Australia close to the southern
-# coast of the continent.
-#
-# I paid particular attention to the time kept there. There can be no
-# dispute that UTC+08:45 was considered "the time" from the border
-# village just inside the border with South Australia to as far west
-# as just east of Caiguna. There can also be no dispute that Eucla is
-# the largest population centre in this zone....
-#
-# Now that Western Australia is observing daylight saving, the
-# question arose whether this part of the state would follow suit. I
-# just called the border village and confirmed that indeed they have,
-# meaning that they are now observing UTC+09:45.
-#
-# (2006-12-09):
-# I personally doubt that either experimentation with daylight saving

-# From Scott Harrington (2001-08-29):
-# On KQED's "City Arts and Lectures" program last night I heard an
-# interesting story about daylight savings time. Dr. John Heilbron was
-# discussing his book "The Sun in the Church: Cathedrals as Solar
-# Observatories"[1], and in particular the Shrine of Remembrance[2] located
-# in Melbourne, Australia.
-#
-# Apparently the shrine's main purpose is a beam of sunlight which
-# illuminates a special spot on the floor at the 11th hour of the 11th day
-# of the 11th month (Remembrance Day) every year in memory of Australia's
-# fallen WWI soldiers. And if you go there on Nov. 11, at 11am local time,
-# you will indeed see the sunbeam illuminate the special spot at the
-# expected time.
-#
-# However, that is only because of some special mirror contraption that had
-# to be employed, since due to daylight savings time, the true solar time of
-# the remembrance moment occurs one hour later (or earlier?). Perhaps
-# someone with more information on this jury-rig can tell us more.

-
-# From Arthur David Olson:
-# New South Wales and subjurisdictions have their own ideas of a fun time.
-# Based on law library research by John Mackin,
-# who notes:
-# In Australia, time is not legislated federally, but rather by the
-# individual states. Thus, while such terms as ``Eastern Standard Time''
-# [I mean, of course, Australian EST, not any other kind] are in common
-# use, _they have NO REAL MEANING_, as they are not defined in the
-# legislation. This is very important to understand.
-# I have researched New South Wales time only...
-
-# From Eric Ulevik (1999-05-26):
-# DST will start in NSW on the last Sunday of August, rather than the usual

-# Lord Howe Island summer time in 2000/2001 will commence on the same

-# Lord Howe Island Board (controlling authority for the Island) is

-# however always coincide with the rest of NSW.
-
-# From James Lonergan, Secretary, Lord Howe Island Board (2000-10-25):
-# Lord Howe Island advances clocks by 30 minutes during DST in NSW and retards

-# <a href="http://www.tongatapu.net.to/tonga/homeland/timebegins.htm">
-# How Tonga became `The Land where Time Begins'
-# </a>:
-
-# Until 1941 Tonga maintained a standard time 50 minutes ahead of NZST
-# 12 hours and 20 minutes ahead of GMT. When New Zealand adjusted its
-# standard time in 1940s, Tonga had the choice of subtracting from its
-# local time to come on the same standard time as New Zealand or of
-# advancing its time to maintain the differential of 13 degrees
-# (approximately 50 minutes ahead of New Zealand time).
-#
-# Because His Majesty King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV, then Crown Prince
-# Tungi, preferred to ensure Tonga's title as the land where time
-# begins, the Legislative Assembly approved the latter change.
-#
-# But some of the older, more conservative members from the outer
-# islands objected. "If at midnight on Dec. 31, we move ahead 40
-# minutes, as your Royal Highness wishes, what becomes of the 40
-# minutes we have lost?"
-#
-# The Crown Prince, presented an unanswerable argument: "Remember that
-# on the World Day of Prayer, you would be the first people on Earth
-# to say your prayers in the morning."
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):

-# The International Date Line
-
-# From Gwillim Law (2000-01-03):
-#
-# The International Date Line is not defined by any international standard,
-# convention, or treaty. Mapmakers are free to draw it as they please.
-# Reputable mapmakers will simply ensure that every point of land appears on
-# the correct side of the IDL, according to the date legally observed there.
-#
-# When Kiribati adopted a uniform date in 1995, thereby moving the Phoenix and
-# Line Islands to the west side of the IDL (or, if you prefer, moving the IDL
-# to the east side of the Phoenix and Line Islands), I suppose that most
-# mapmakers redrew the IDL following the boundary of Kiribati. Even that line
-# has a rather arbitrary nature. The straight-line boundaries between Pacific
-# island nations that are shown on many maps are based on an international
-# convention, but are not legally binding national borders.... The date is
-# governed by the IDL; therefore, even on the high seas, there may be some
-# places as late as fourteen hours later than UTC. And, since the IDL is not
-# an international standard, there are some places on the high seas where the
-# correct date is ambiguous.
-
-# From Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone> (2005-08-31):
-# Before 1920, all ships kept local apparent time on the high seas by setting
-# their clocks at night or at the morning sight so that, given the ship's
-# speed and direction, it would be 12 o'clock when the Sun crossed the ship's
-# meridian (12 o'clock = local apparent noon). During 1917, at the
-# Anglo-French Conference on Time-keeping at Sea, it was recommended that all
-# ships, both military and civilian, should adopt hourly standard time zones
-# on the high seas. Whenever a ship was within the territorial waters of any
-# nation it would use that nation's standard time. The captain was permitted
-# to change his ship's clocks at a time of his choice following his ship's
-# entry into another zone time--he often chose midnight. These zones were
-# adopted by all major fleets between 1920 and 1925 but not by many
-# independent merchant ships until World War II.
-
-# From Paul Eggert, using references suggested by Oscar van Vlijmen
-# (2005-03-20):
-#
-# The American Practical Navigator (2002)
-# <http://pollux.nss.nima.mil/pubs/pubs_j_apn_sections.html?rid=187>
-# talks only about the 180-degree meridian with respect to ships in
-# international waters; it ignores the international date line.

-# We use POSIX-style signs in the Zone names and the output abbreviations,
-# even though this is the opposite of what many people expect.
-# POSIX has positive signs west of Greenwich, but many people expect
-# positive signs east of Greenwich. For example, TZ='Etc/GMT+4' uses
-# the abbreviation "GMT+4" and corresponds to 4 hours behind UTC
-# (i.e. west of Greenwich) even though many people would expect it to
-# mean 4 hours ahead of UTC (i.e. east of Greenwich).
-#
-# In the draft 5 of POSIX 1003.1-200x, the angle bracket notation
-# (which is not yet supported by the tz code) allows for
-# TZ='<GMT-4>+4'; if you want time zone abbreviations conforming to
-# ISO 8601 you can use TZ='<-0400>+4'. Thus the commonly-expected
-# offset is kept within the angle bracket (and is used for display)
-# while the POSIX sign is kept outside the angle bracket (and is used

-# Britain (United Kingdom) and Ireland (Eire)
-
-# From Peter Ilieve (1994-07-06):
-#
-# On 17 Jan 1994 the Independent, a UK quality newspaper, had a piece about
-# historical vistas along the Thames in west London. There was a photo
-# and a sketch map showing some of the sightlines involved. One paragraph
-# of the text said:
-#
-# `An old stone obelisk marking a forgotten terrestrial meridian stands
-# beside the river at Kew. In the 18th century, before time and longitude
-# was standardised by the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, scholars observed
-# this stone and the movement of stars from Kew Observatory nearby. They
-# made their calculations and set the time for the Horse Guards and Parliament,
-# but now the stone is obscured by scrubwood and can only be seen by walking
-# along the towpath within a few yards of it.'
-#
-# I have a one inch to one mile map of London and my estimate of the stone's
-# position is 51 deg. 28' 30" N, 0 deg. 18' 45" W. The longitude should
-# be within about +-2". The Ordnance Survey grid reference is TQ172761.
-#
-# [This yields GMTOFF = -0:01:15 for London LMT in the 18th century.]
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
-#
-# Howse writes that Britain was the first country to use standard time.
-# The railways cared most about the inconsistencies of local mean time,
-# and it was they who forced a uniform time on the country.
-# The original idea was credited to Dr. William Hyde Wollaston (1766-1828)
-# and was popularized by Abraham Follett Osler (1808-1903).
-# The first railway to adopt London time was the Great Western Railway
-# in November 1840; other railways followed suit, and by 1847 most
-# (though not all) railways used London time. On 1847-09-22 the
-# Railway Clearing House, an industry standards body, recommended that GMT be
-# adopted at all stations as soon as the General Post Office permitted it.
-# The transition occurred on 12-01 for the L&NW, the Caledonian,
-# and presumably other railways; the January 1848 Bradshaw's lists many
-# railways as using GMT. By 1855 the vast majority of public
-# clocks in Britain were set to GMT (though some, like the great clock
-# on Tom Tower at Christ Church, Oxford, were fitted with two minute hands,
-# one for local time and one for GMT). The last major holdout was the legal
-# system, which stubbornly stuck to local time for many years, leading
-# to oddities like polls opening at 08:13 and closing at 16:13.
-# The legal system finally switched to GMT when the Statutes (Definition
-# of Time) Act took effect; it received the Royal Assent on 1880-08-02.
-#
-# In the tables below, we condense this complicated story into a single
-# transition date for London, namely 1847-12-01. We don't know as much
-# about Dublin, so we use 1880-08-02, the legal transition time.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2003-09-27):
-# Summer Time was first seriously proposed by William Willett (1857-1915),
-# a London builder and member of the Royal Astronomical Society
-# who circulated a pamphlet ``The Waste of Daylight'' (1907)
-# that proposed advancing clocks 20 minutes on each of four Sundays in April,
-# and retarding them by the same amount on four Sundays in September.
-# A bill was drafted in 1909 and introduced in Parliament several times,
-# but it met with ridicule and opposition, especially from farming interests.
-# Later editions of the pamphlet proposed one-hour summer time, and
-# it was eventually adopted as a wartime measure in 1916.
-# See: Summer Time Arrives Early, The Times (2000-05-18).
-# A monument to Willett was unveiled on 1927-05-21, in an open space in
-# a 45-acre wood near Chislehurst, Kent that was purchased by popular
-# subscription and open to the public. On the south face of the monolith,
-# designed by G. W. Miller, is the the William Willett Memorial Sundial,
-# which is permanently set to Summer Time.
-
-# From Winston Churchill (1934-04-28):
-# It is one of the paradoxes of history that we should owe the boon of
-# summer time, which gives every year to the people of this country
-# between 160 and 170 hours more daylight leisure, to a war which
-# plunged Europe into darkness for four years, and shook the
-# foundations of civilization throughout the world.
-# -- <a href="http://www.winstonchurchill.org/fh114willett.htm">
-# "A Silent Toast to William Willett", Pictorial Weekly
-# </a>
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1996-09-03):
-# The OED Supplement says that the English originally said ``Daylight Saving''
-# when they were debating the adoption of DST in 1908; but by 1916 this
-# term appears only in quotes taken from DST's opponents, whereas the
-# proponents (who eventually won the argument) are quoted as using ``Summer''.
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (1989-01-19):
-#
-# A source at the British Information Office in New York avers that it's
-# known as "British" Summer Time in all parts of the United Kingdom.
-
-# Date: 4 Jan 89 08:57:25 GMT (Wed)
-# From: Jonathan Leffler
-# [British Summer Time] is fixed annually by Act of Parliament.
-# If you can predict what Parliament will do, you should be in
-# politics making a fortune, not computing.
-
-# From Chris Carrier (1996-06-14):
-# I remember reading in various wartime issues of the London Times the
-# acronym BDST for British Double Summer Time. Look for the published
-# time of sunrise and sunset in The Times, when BDST was in effect, and
-# if you find a zone reference it will say, "All times B.D.S.T."
-
-# From Joseph S. Myers (1999-09-02):
-# ... some military cables (WO 219/4100 - this is a copy from the
-# main SHAEF archives held in the US National Archives, SHAEF/5252/8/516)
-# agree that the usage is BDST (this appears in a message dated 17 Feb 1945).
-
-# From Joseph S. Myers (2000-10-03):
-# On 18th April 1941, Sir Stephen Tallents of the BBC wrote to Sir
-# Alexander Maxwell of the Home Office asking whether there was any
-# official designation; the reply of the 21st was that there wasn't
-# but he couldn't think of anything better than the "Double British
-# Summer Time" that the BBC had been using informally.

-# http://student.cusu.cam.ac.uk/~jsm28/british-time/ho-19410421.png
-
-# From Sir Alexander Maxwell in the above-mentioned letter (1941-04-21):
-# [N]o official designation has as far as I know been adopted for the time
-# which is to be introduced in May....
-# I cannot think of anything better than "Double British Summer Time"
-# which could not be said to run counter to any official description.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
-# Howse writes (p 157) `DBST' too, but `BDST' seems to have been common
-# and follows the more usual convention of putting the location name first,
-# so we use `BDST'.
-
-# Peter Ilieve (1998-04-19) described at length
-# the history of summer time legislation in the United Kingdom.
-# Since 1998 Joseph S. Myers has been updating
-# and extending this list, which can be found in

-# History of legal time in Britain
-# </a>
-
-# From Joseph S. Myers (1998-01-06):
-#
-# The legal time in the UK outside of summer time is definitely GMT, not UTC;
-# see Lord Tanlaw's speech
-# <a href="http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/ld199697/ldhansrd/pdvn/lds97/text/70611-20.htm#70611-20_head0">
-# (Lords Hansard 11 June 1997 columns 964 to 976)
-# </a>.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-#
-# For lack of other data, follow Shanks & Pottenger for Eire in 1940-1948.
-#
-# Given Ilieve and Myers's data, the following claims by Shanks & Pottenger
-# are incorrect:
-# * Wales did not switch from GMT to daylight saving time until
-# 1921 Apr 3, when they began to conform with the rest of Great Britain.
-# Actually, Wales was identical after 1880.
-# * Eire had two transitions on 1916 Oct 1.
-# It actually just had one transition.
-# * Northern Ireland used single daylight saving time throughout WW II.
-# Actually, it conformed to Britain.
-# * GB-Eire changed standard time to 1 hour ahead of GMT on 1968-02-18.
-# Actually, that date saw the usual switch to summer time.
-# Standard time was not changed until 1968-10-27 (the clocks didn't change).
-#
-# Here is another incorrect claim by Shanks & Pottenger:
-# * Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man did not switch from GMT
-# to daylight saving time until 1921 Apr 3, when they began to
-# conform with Great Britain.
-# S.R.&O. 1916, No. 382 and HO 45/10811/312364 (quoted above) say otherwise.
-#
-# The following claim by Shanks & Pottenger is possible though doubtful;
-# we'll ignore it for now.
-# * Dublin's 1971-10-31 switch was at 02:00, even though London's was 03:00.
-#
-#
-# Whitman says Dublin Mean Time was -0:25:21, which is more precise than
-# Shanks & Pottenger.
-# Perhaps this was Dunsink Observatory Time, as Dunsink Observatory
-# (8 km NW of Dublin's center) seemingly was to Dublin as Greenwich was
-# to London. For example:
-#
-# "Timeball on the ballast office is down. Dunsink time."
-# -- James Joyce, Ulysses

-#
-# (These are those I found, but there could be more. In any case these
-# should allow various updates to the comments in the europe file to cover
-# the laws applicable in Ireland.)
-#
-# (Note that the time in the Republic of Ireland since 1968 has been defined
-# in terms of standard time being GMT+1 with a period of winter time when it
-# is GMT, rather than standard time being GMT with a period of summer time
-# being GMT+1.)
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-28):
-# Clive Feather (<news:859845706.26043.0@office.demon.net>, 1997-03-31)
-# reports that Folkestone (Cheriton) Shuttle Terminal uses Concession Time
-# (CT), equivalent to French civil time.
-# Julian Hill (<news:36118128.5A14@virgin.net>, 1998-09-30) reports that
-# trains between Dollands Moor (the freight facility next door)
-# and Frethun run in CT.
-# My admittedly uninformed guess is that the terminal has two authorities,
-# the French concession operators and the British civil authorities,
-# and that the time depends on who you're talking to.
-# If, say, the British police were called to the station for some reason,
-# I would expect the official police report to use GMT/BST and not CET/CEST.
-# This is a borderline case, but for now let's stick to GMT/BST.
-
-# From an anonymous contributor (1996-06-02):
-# The law governing time in Ireland is under Statutory Instrument SI 395/94,
-# which gives force to European Union 7th Council Directive # 94/21/EC.
-# Under this directive, the Minister for Justice in Ireland makes appropriate

-# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2008-07-13):
-#
-# I found what is probably a typo of 2:00 which should perhaps be 2:00s
-# in the C-Eur rule from tz database version 2008d (this part was
-# corrected in version 2008d). The circumstancial evidence is simply the
-# tz database itself, as seen below:

-# It seems that Paris, Monaco, Rule France, Rule Belgium all agree on
-# 2:00 standard time, e.g. 3:00 local time. However there are no
-# countries that use C-Eur rules in September 1945, so the only items

-
-# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2005-04-26):
-# http://www.hum.aau.dk/~poe/tid/tine/DanskTid.htm says that the law
-# [introducing standard time] was in effect from 1894-01-01....
-# The page http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A18930008330-REGL
-# confirms this, and states that the law was put forth 1893-03-29.
-#
-# The EU treaty with effect from 1973:
-# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A19722110030-REGL
-#
-# This provoked a new law from 1974 to make possible summer time changes
-# in subsequenet decrees with the law
-# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A19740022330-REGL
-#
-# It seems however that no decree was set forward until 1980. I have
-# not found any decree, but in another related law, the effecting DST
-# changes are stated explicitly to be from 1980-04-06 at 02:00 to
-# 1980-09-28 at 02:00. If this is true, this differs slightly from
-# the EU rule in that DST runs to 02:00, not 03:00. We don't know
-# when Denmark began using the EU rule correctly, but we have only
-# confirmation of the 1980-time, so I presume it was correct in 1981:
-# The law is about the management of the extra hour, concerning
-# working hours reported and effect on obligatory-rest rules (which
-# was suspended on that night):
-# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/C19801120554-REGL
-
-# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2005-06-11):
-# The Herning Folkeblad (1980-09-26) reported that the night between
-# Saturday and Sunday the clock is set back from three to two.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2005-06-11):
-# Hence the "02:00" of the 1980 law refers to standard time, not
-# wall-clock time, and so the EU rules were in effect in 1980.

-# My source for this is Wilhelm Dege's book mentioned under Svalbard.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Greenland joined the EU as part of Denmark, obtained home rule on 1979-05-01,
-# and left the EU on 1985-02-01. It therefore should have been using EU
-# rules at least through 1984. Shanks & Pottenger say Scoresbysund and Godthab
-# used C-Eur rules after 1980, but IATA SSIM (1991/1996) says they use EU
-# rules since at least 1991. Assume EU rules since 1980.
-
-# From Gwillin Law (2001-06-06), citing
-# <http://www.statkart.no/efs/efshefter/2001/efs5-2001.pdf> (2001-03-15),
-# and with translations corrected by Steffen Thorsen:
-#
-# Greenland has four local times, and the relation to UTC
-# is according to the following time line:
-#
-# The military zone near Thule UTC-4
-# Standard Greenland time UTC-3
-# Scoresbysund UTC-1
-# Danmarkshavn UTC
-#
-# In the military area near Thule and in Danmarkshavn DST will not be
-# introduced.
-
-# From Rives McDow (2001-11-01):
-#
-# I correspond regularly with the Dansk Polarcenter, and wrote them at
-# the time to clarify the situation in Thule. Unfortunately, I have
-# not heard back from them regarding my recent letter. [But I have
-# info from earlier correspondence.]
-#
-# According to the center, a very small local time zone around Thule
-# Air Base keeps the time according to UTC-4, implementing daylight
-# savings using North America rules, changing the time at 02:00 local time....
-#
-# The east coast of Greenland north of the community of Scoresbysund
-# uses UTC in the same way as in Iceland, year round, with no dst.
-# There are just a few stations on this coast, including the
-# Danmarkshavn ICAO weather station mentioned in your September 29th
-# email. The other stations are two sledge patrol stations in
-# Mestersvig and Daneborg, the air force base at Station Nord, and the
-# DPC research station at Zackenberg.
-#
-# Scoresbysund and two small villages nearby keep time UTC-1 and use
-# the same daylight savings time period as in West Greenland (Godthab).
-#
-# The rest of Greenland, including Godthab (this area, although it
-# includes central Greenland, is known as west Greenland), keeps time
-# UTC-3, with daylight savings methods according to European rules.
-#
-# It is common procedure to use UTC 0 in the wilderness of East and
-# North Greenland, because it is mainly Icelandic aircraft operators
-# maintaining traffic in these areas. However, the official status of
-# this area is that it sticks with Godthab time. This area might be
-# considered a dual time zone in some respects because of this.
-
-# From Rives McDow (2001-11-19):
-# I heard back from someone stationed at Thule; the time change took place
-# there at 2:00 AM.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# From 1997 on the CIA map shows Danmarkshavn on GMT;
-# the 1995 map as like Godthab.
-# For lack of better info, assume they were like Godthab before 1996.
-# startkart.no says Thule does not observe DST, but this is clearly an error,
-# so go with Shanks & Pottenger for Thule transitions until this year.
-# For 2007 on assume Thule will stay in sync with US DST rules.

-# a regulation of the Government of Estonia, No. 111 of 1989....
-#
-# From Peter Ilieve (1996-10-28):
-# [IATA SSIM (1992/1996) claims that the Baltic republics switch at 01:00s,
-# but a relative confirms that Estonia still switches at 02:00s, writing:]
-# ``I do not [know] exactly but there are some little different
-# (confusing) rules for International Air and Railway Transport Schedules
-# conversion in Sunday connected with end of summer time in Estonia....
-# A discussion is running about the summer time efficiency and effect on
-# human physiology. It seems that Estonia maybe will not change to
-# summer time next spring.''
-
-# From Peter Ilieve (1998-11-04), heavily edited:
-# <a href="http://trip.rk.ee/cgi-bin/thw?${BASE}=akt&${OOHTML}=rtd&TA=1998&TO=1&AN=1390">
-# The 1998-09-22 Estonian time law
-# </a>
-# refers to the Eighth Directive and cites the association agreement between
-# the EU and Estonia, ratified by the Estonian law (RT II 1995, 22--27, 120).
-#
-# I also asked [my relative] whether they use any standard abbreviation
-# for their standard and summer times. He says no, they use "suveaeg"
-# (summer time) and "talveaeg" (winter time).
-
-# From <a href="http://www.baltictimes.com/">The Baltic Times</a> (1999-09-09)
-# via Steffen Thorsen:
-# This year will mark the last time Estonia shifts to summer time,
-# a council of the ruling coalition announced Sept. 6....
-# But what this could mean for Estonia's chances of joining the European
-# Union are still unclear. In 1994, the EU declared summer time compulsory
-# for all member states until 2001. Brussels has yet to decide what to do

-

-# Iceland
-#
-# From Adam David (1993-11-06):
-# The name of the timezone in Iceland for system / mail / news purposes is GMT.
-#
-# (1993-12-05):
-# This material is paraphrased from the 1988 edition of the University of
-# Iceland Almanak.
-#
-# From January 1st, 1908 the whole of Iceland was standardised at 1 hour
-# behind GMT. Previously, local mean solar time was used in different parts
-# of Iceland, the almanak had been based on Reykjavik mean solar time which
-# was 1 hour and 28 minutes behind GMT.
-#
-# "first day of winter" referred to [below] means the first day of the 26 weeks
-# of winter, according to the old icelandic calendar that dates back to the
-# time the norsemen first settled Iceland. The first day of winter is always
-# Saturday, but is not dependent on the Julian or Gregorian calendars.
-#
-# (1993-12-10):
-# I have a reference from the Oxford Icelandic-English dictionary for the
-# beginning of winter, which ties it to the ecclesiastical calendar (and thus
-# to the julian/gregorian calendar) over the period in question.
-# the winter begins on the Saturday next before St. Luke's day
-# (old style), or on St. Luke's day, if a Saturday.
-# St. Luke's day ought to be traceable from ecclesiastical sources. "old style"
-# might be a reference to the Julian calendar as opposed to Gregorian, or it
-# might mean something else (???).
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# The Iceland Almanak, Shanks & Pottenger, and Whitman disagree on many points.
-# We go with the Almanak, except for one claim from Shanks & Pottenger, namely
-# that Reykavik was 21W57 from 1837 to 1908, local mean time before that.

-
-# From <a href="http://www.elta.lt/">ELTA</a> No. 972 (2582) (1999-09-29),

-# A previous version of this database followed Shanks & Pottenger, who write

-# In early 1992 there was large-scale interethnic violence in the area

-
-# Howse writes that the Netherlands' railways used GMT between 1892 and 1940,
-# but for other purposes the Netherlands used Amsterdam mean time.
-
-# However, Robert H. van Gent writes (2001-04-01):
-# Howse's statement is only correct up to 1909. From 1909-05-01 (00:00:00
-# Amsterdam mean time) onwards, the whole of the Netherlands (including
-# the Dutch railways) was required by law to observe Amsterdam mean time
-# (19 minutes 32.13 seconds ahead of GMT). This had already been the
-# common practice (except for the railways) for many decades but it was
-# not until 1909 when the Dutch government finally defined this by law.
-# On 1937-07-01 this was changed to 20 minutes (exactly) ahead of GMT and
-# was generally known as Dutch Time ("Nederlandse Tijd").
-#
-# (2001-04-08):
-# 1892-05-01 was the date when the Dutch railways were by law required to
-# observe GMT while the remainder of the Netherlands adhered to the common
-# practice of following Amsterdam mean time.
-#
-# (2001-04-09):
-# In 1835 the authorities of the province of North Holland requested the
-# municipal authorities of the towns and cities in the province to observe
-# Amsterdam mean time but I do not know in how many cases this request was
-# actually followed.
-#
-# From 1852 onwards the Dutch telegraph offices were by law required to
-# observe Amsterdam mean time. As the time signals from the observatory of
-# Leiden were also distributed by the telegraph system, I assume that most
-# places linked up with the telegraph (and railway) system automatically
-# adopted Amsterdam mean time.
-#
-# Although the early Dutch railway companies initially observed a variety
-# of times, most of them had adopted Amsterdam mean time by 1858 but it
-# was not until 1866 when they were all required by law to observe
-# Amsterdam mean time.

-# Svalbard & Jan Mayen
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2001-05-01):
-# Although I could not find it explicitly, it seems that Jan Mayen and
-# Svalbard have been using the same time as Norway at least since the
-# time they were declared as parts of Norway. Svalbard was declared
-# as a part of Norway by law of 1925-07-17 no 11, section 4 and Jan
-# Mayen by law of 1930-02-27 no 2, section 2. (From
-# http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19250717-011.html and
-# http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-19300227-002.html). The law/regulation
-# for normal/standard time in Norway is from 1894-06-29 no 1 (came
-# into operation on 1895-01-01) and Svalbard/Jan Mayen seem to be a
-# part of this law since 1925/1930. (From
-# http://www.lovdata.no/all/nl-18940629-001.html ) I have not been
-# able to find if Jan Mayen used a different time zone (e.g. -0100)
-# before 1930. Jan Mayen has only been "inhabitated" since 1921 by
-# Norwegian meteorologists and maybe used the same time as Norway ever
-# since 1921. Svalbard (Arctic/Longyearbyen) has been inhabited since
-# before 1895, and therefore probably changed the local time somewhere
-# between 1895 and 1925 (inclusive).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-01):
-#
-# Actually, Jan Mayen was never occupied by Germany during World War II,
-# so it must have diverged from Oslo time during the war, as Oslo was
-# keeping Berlin time.
-#
-# <http://home.no.net/janmayen/history.htm> says that the meteorologists
-# burned down their station in 1940 and left the island, but returned in
-# 1941 with a small Norwegian garrison and continued operations despite
-# frequent air ttacks from Germans. In 1943 the Americans established a
-# radiolocating station on the island, called "Atlantic City". Possibly
-# the UTC offset changed during the war, but I think it unlikely that
-# Jan Mayen used German daylight-saving rules.
-#
-# Svalbard is more complicated, as it was raided in August 1941 by an
-# Allied party that evacuated the civilian population to England (says
-# <http://www.bartleby.com/65/sv/Svalbard.html>). The Svalbard FAQ
-# <http://www.svalbard.com/SvalbardFAQ.html> says that the Germans were
-# expelled on 1942-05-14. However, small parties of Germans did return,
-# and according to Wilhelm Dege's book "War North of 80" (1954)
-# <http://www.ucalgary.ca/UofC/departments/UP/1-55238/1-55238-110-2.html>
-# the German armed forces at the Svalbard weather station code-named
-# Haudegen did not surrender to the Allies until September 1945.
-#
-# All these events predate our cutoff date of 1970. Unless we can
-# come up with more definitive info about the timekeeping during the
-# war years it's probably best just do do the following for now:

-# Except for Moscow after 1919-07-01, I invented the time zone abbreviations.
-# Moscow time zone abbreviations after 1919-07-01, and Moscow rules after 1991,
-# are from Andrey A. Chernov. The rest is from Shanks & Pottenger,
-# except we follow Chernov's report that 1992 DST transitions were Sat
-# 23:00, not Sun 02:00s.
-#
-# From Stanislaw A. Kuzikowski (1994-06-29):
-# But now it is some months since Novosibirsk is 3 hours ahead of Moscow!
-# I do not know why they have decided to make this change;
-# as far as I remember it was done exactly during winter->summer switching
-# so we (Novosibirsk) simply did not switch.
-#
-# From Andrey A. Chernov (1996-10-04):
-# `MSK' and `MSD' were born and used initially on Moscow computers with
-# UNIX-like OSes by several developer groups (e.g. Demos group, Kiae group)....
-# The next step was the UUCP network, the Relcom predecessor
-# (used mainly for mail), and MSK/MSD was actively used there.
-#
-# From Chris Carrier (1996-10-30):
-# According to a friend of mine who rode the Trans-Siberian Railroad from
-# Moscow to Irkutsk in 1995, public air and rail transport in Russia ...
-# still follows Moscow time, no matter where in Russia it is located.
-#
-# For Grozny, Chechnya, we have the following story from
-# John Daniszewski, "Scavengers in the Rubble", Los Angeles Times (2001-02-07):
-# News--often false--is spread by word of mouth. A rumor that it was
-# time to move the clocks back put this whole city out of sync with
-# the rest of Russia for two weeks--even soldiers stationed here began
-# enforcing curfew at the wrong time.

-# From Gwillim Law (2001-06-05):
-# There's considerable evidence that Sakhalin Island used to be in

-# SSIM, which listed Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in zone RU10 along with Magadan
-# until February 1997, and then in RU9 with Khabarovsk and Vladivostok
-# since September 1997.... Although the Kuril Islands are

-# From Ivan Nilsson (2001-04-13), superseding Shanks & Pottenger:
-#
-# The law "Svensk forfattningssamling 1878, no 14" about standard time in 1879:
-# From the beginning of 1879 (that is 01-01 00:00) the time for all
-# places in the country is "the mean solar time for the meridian at
-# three degrees, or twelve minutes of time, to the west of the
-# meridian of the Observatory of Stockholm". The law is dated 1878-05-31.
-#
-# The observatory at that time had the meridian 18 degrees 03' 30"
-# eastern longitude = 01:12:14 in time. Less 12 minutes gives the
-# national standard time as 01:00:14 ahead of GMT....
-#
-# About the beginning of CET in Sweden. The lawtext ("Svensk
-# forfattningssamling 1899, no 44") states, that "from the beginning
-# of 1900... ... the same as the mean solar time for the meridian at
-# the distance of one hour of time from the meridian of the English
-# observatory at Greenwich, or at 12 minutes 14 seconds to the west
-# from the meridian of the Observatory of Stockholm". The law is dated
-# 1899-06-16. In short: At 1900-01-01 00:00:00 the new standard time
-# in Sweden is 01:00:00 ahead of GMT.
-#
-# 1916: The lawtext ("Svensk forfattningssamling 1916, no 124") states
-# that "1916-05-15 is considered to begin one hour earlier". It is
-# pretty obvious that at 05-14 23:00 the clocks are set to 05-15 00:00....
-# Further the law says, that "1916-09-30 is considered to end one hour later".
-#
-# The laws regulating [DST] are available on the site of the Swedish
-# Parliament beginning with 1985 - the laws regulating 1980/1984 are
-# not available on the site (to my knowledge they are only available
-# in Swedish): <http://www.riksdagen.se/english/work/sfst.asp> (type
-# "sommartid" without the quotes in the field "Fritext" and then click
-# the Sok-button).
-#
-# (2001-05-13):
-#
-# I have now found a newspaper stating that at 1916-10-01 01:00
-# summertime the church-clocks etc were set back one hour to show
-# 1916-10-01 00:00 standard time. The article also reports that some
-# people thought the switch to standard time would take place already
-# at 1916-10-01 00:00 summer time, but they had to wait for another
-# hour before the event took place.

-# From Alois Treindl (2008-12-17):
-# I have researched the DST usage in Switzerland during the 1940ies.
-#
-# As I wrote in an earlier message, I suspected the current tzdata values
-# to be wrong. This is now verified.
-#
-# I have found copies of the original ruling by the Swiss Federal
-# government, in 'Eidgen[o]ssische Gesetzessammlung 1941 and 1942' (Swiss
-# federal law collection)...
-#
-# DST began on Monday 5 May 1941, 1:00 am by shifting the clocks to 2:00 am
-# DST ended on Monday 6 Oct 1941, 2:00 am by shifting the clocks to 1:00 am.
-#
-# DST began on Monday, 4 May 1942 at 01:00 am
-# DST ended on Monday, 5 Oct 1942 at 02:00 am
-#
-# There was no DST in 1940, I have checked the law collection carefully.
-# It is also indicated by the fact that the 1942 entry in the law
-# collection points back to 1941 as a reference, but no reference to any
-# other years are made.
-#
-# Newspaper articles I have read in the archives on 6 May 1941 reported
-# about the introduction of DST (Sommerzeit in German) during the previous
-# night as an absolute novelty, because this was the first time that such
-# a thing had happened in Switzerland.
-#
-# I have also checked 1916, because one book source (Gabriel, Traite de
-# l'heure dans le monde) claims that Switzerland had DST in 1916. This is
-# false, no official document could be found. Probably Gabriel got misled
-# by references to Germany, which introduced DST in 1916 for the first time.
-#
-# The tzdata rules for Switzerland must be changed to:
-# Rule Swiss 1941 1942 - May Mon>=1 1:00 1:00 S
-# Rule Swiss 1941 1942 - Oct Mon>=1 2:00 0 -
-#
-# The 1940 rules must be deleted.
-#
-# One further detail for Switzerland, which is probably out of scope for
-# most users of tzdata:
-# The zone file
-# Zone Europe/Zurich 0:34:08 - LMT 1848 Sep 12
-# 0:29:44 - BMT 1894 Jun #Bern Mean Time

-# ...the European time rules are...standardized since 1981, when
-# most European coun[tr]ies started DST. Before that year, only
-# a few countries (UK, France, Italy) had DST, each according
-# to own national rules. In 1981, however, DST started on
-# 'Apr firstSun', and not on 'Mar lastSun' as in the following
-# years...
-# But also since 1981 there are some more national exceptions
-# than listed in 'europe': Switzerland, for example, joined DST
-# one year later, Denmark ended DST on 'Oct 1' instead of 'Sep
-# lastSun' in 1981---I don't know how they handle now.
-#
-# Finally, DST ist always from 'Apr 1' to 'Oct 1' in the
-# Soviet Union (as far as I know).

-#
-# The information from Tom Hofmann is (as far as I know) not entirely correct.
-# After a request from chongo at amdahl I tried to retrieve all information
-# about DST in Europe. I was able to find all from about 1969.
-#
-# ...standardization on DST in Europe started in about 1977 with switches on
-# first Sunday in April and last Sunday in September...
-# In 1981 UK joined Europe insofar that
-# the starting day for both shifted to last Sunday in March. And from 1982
-# the whole of Europe used DST, with switch dates April 1 and October 1 in
-# the Sov[i]et Union. In 1985 the SU reverted to standard Europe[a]n switch
-# dates...
-#
-# It should also be remembered that time-zones are not constants; e.g.
-# Portugal switched in 1976 from MET (or CET) to WET with DST...
-# Note also that though there were rules for switch dates not
-# all countries abided to these dates, and many individual deviations
-# occurred, though not since 1982 I believe. Another note: it is always
-# assumed that DST is 1 hour ahead of normal time, this need not be the
-# case; at least in the Netherlands there have been times when DST was 2 hours
-# in advance of normal time.

-# United States
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
-# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
-# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
-# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
-# His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870)
-# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
-# in New York City (1869-10). His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
-# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
-# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
-# and the most of the country soon followed suit.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16):
-# That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time.
-# See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
-# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
-# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
-# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
-# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
-# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
-# in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
-# of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
-# Not everyone is happy with the results:
-#
-# I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
-# agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
-# daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
-# I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
-# valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer
-# of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
-# reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving
-# scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
-# to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
-# them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.
-#
-# -- Robertson Davies, The diary of Samuel Marchbanks,
-# Clarke, Irwin (1947), XIX, Sunday
-#
-# For more about the first ten years of DST in the United States, see
-# Robert Garland's <a href="http://www.clpgh.org/exhibit/dst.html">
-# Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
-# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927)</a>.
-#
-# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
-# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
-# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
-# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
-
-# From Arthur David Olson:
-# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
-# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
-# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
-
-# From Arthur David Olson:
-# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
-# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
-# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
-# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
-# An AltaVista search turned up
-# <a href="http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html">:
-# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
-# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.' Peace is wonderful."
-# </a> (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
-
-# From Joseph Gallant citing
-# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
-# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
-# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
-# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
-# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
-# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
-# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
-# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From
-# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
-#
-# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
-# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
-# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
-# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
-# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
-# importance."
-#
-# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
-# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
-# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
-# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
-#
-# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
-# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
-# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
-# U.S. government action. So even though the "US" rules have changed
-# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

-# AK%sT is the modern abbreviation for -9:00 per USNO.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-05-30):
-# Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
-# and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
-# This was on 1867-10-18, a Friday; the previous day was 1867-10-06 Julian,
-# also a Friday. Include only the time zone part of this transition,
-# ignoring the switch from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent
-# the Julian calendar.
-#
-# As far as we know, none of the exact locations mentioned below were
-# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
-# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement
-# was destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.) However, there
-# were nearby inhabitants in some cases and for our purposes perhaps
-# it's best to simply use the official transition.

-#
-# From David Flater (2004-11-09):
-# In e-mail, 2004-11-02, Ray Hudson, historian/liaison to the Unalaska
-# Historic Preservation Commission, provided this information, which
-# suggests that Unalaska deviated from statutory time from early 1967

-#
-# Minutes of the Unalaska City Council Meeting, January 10, 1967:
-# "Except for St. Paul and Akutan, Unalaska is the only important
-# location not on Alaska Standard Time. The following resolution was
-# made by William Robinson and seconded by Henry Swanson: Be it
-# resolved that the City of Unalaska hereby goes to Alaska Standard
-# Time as of midnight Friday, January 13, 1967 (1 A.M. Saturday,

-# The information in the rest of this paragraph is derived from the

-# Daylight Saving Time web page (2002-01-23)</a> maintained by the
-# Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records.
-# Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard
-# time, but by federal law railroads, airlines, bus lines, military
-# personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
-# observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time. The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
-# Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
-# the date the state's clocks would change. In 1945 the State of
-# Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
-# mandated by federal law. Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona
-# Laws 1968, ch. 183 (effective 1968-03-21) repealed DST.
-#
-# Shanks says the 1944 experiment came to an end on 1944-03-17.

-# What time is it in Indiana?
-# </a> (2006-03-01)
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):
-# Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
-# with the following exceptions:
-#
-# - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,
-# Vandenburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.
-#
-# - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
-#
-# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
-# America/Kentucky/Louisville.
-#
-# - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke,
-# and Switzerland counties have their own time zone histories as noted below.
-#
-# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
-# and wrote ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
-# Those Hoosiers! Such a flighty and changeable people!
-# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
-#
-# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
-# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level.
-# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory `America/Indiana'.
-

-# It says "DOT is relocating the time zone boundary in Indiana to move Starke,

-# this rule is 2:OO a.m. EST Sunday, April 2, 2006, which is the

-# Strictly speaking, this means the affected counties will change their

-# Lake Cumberland LIFE
-# </a> (1999-01-29) via WKYM-101.7:
-# Clinton County has joined Wayne County in asking the DoT to change from
-# the Central to the Eastern time zone.... The Wayne County government made
-# the same request in December. And while Russell County officials have not
-# taken action, the majority of respondents to a poll conducted there in
-# August indicated they would like to change to "fast time" also.
-# The three Lake Cumberland counties are the farthest east of any U.S.
-# location in the Central time zone.
-#
-# From Rich Wales (2000-08-29):
-# After prolonged debate, and despite continuing deep differences of opinion,
-# Wayne County (central Kentucky) is switching from Central (-0600) to Eastern
-# (-0500) time. They won't "fall back" this year. See Sara Shipley,
-# The difference an hour makes, Nando Times (2000-08-29 15:33 -0400).
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-16):

-# From Rives McDow (2000-08-30):
-# Here ... are all the changes in the US since 1985.

-# previously split between MST and CST) ... 1990-10
-# Starke County, IN (from CST to EST) ... 1991-10

-# From Paul Eggert (2001-07-17):
-# We don't know where the line used to be within Kearny County, KS,
-# so omit that change for now.
-# See America/Indiana/Knox for the Starke County, IN change.
-# See America/North_Dakota/Center for the Oliver County, ND change.
-# West Wendover, NV officially switched from Pacific to mountain time on
-# 1999-10-31. See the

-# Federal Register 64, 203 (1999-10-21), page 56705-56707.

-# However, the Federal Register says that West Wendover already operated
-# on mountain time, and the rule merely made this official;
-# hence a separate tz entry is not needed.
-
-# Michigan
-#
-# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28):
-# Michigan didn't observe DST from 1968 to 1973.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
-# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
-# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
-# that Detroit kept
-#
-# local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
-# be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time. Half the
-# city obeyed, half refused. After considerable debate, the decision
-# was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time. A derisive offer to
-# erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
-# Committee on Sewers. Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
-# by city vote.
-#
-# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
-# Garland (1927) writes ``Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks
-# one hour in 1914.'' This change is not in Shanks. We have no more
-# info, so omit this for now.
-#
-# Most of Michigan observed DST from 1973 on, but was a bit late in 1975.

-

-# Ontario
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
-# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of Ontario has been like
-# Toronto.
-# Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
-# Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
-# Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
-# Far west Ontario is like Winnipeg; far east Quebec is like Halifax.
-
-# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
-# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
-# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
-# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
-# have already done so. In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
-# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
-# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
-# only two weeks -- I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
-# presumably that should be -07-06. (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters
-# earlier in June).
-#
-# Kenora, Ontario, was to abandon DST on 1914-06-01 (-05-21).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (1997-10-17):
-# Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
-# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
-# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
-# He also writes that the
-# <a href="http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html">
-# Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
-# </a>
-# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
-# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
-# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
-# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
-# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
-# CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
-# violation of the official Ontario rules.
-#
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
-# Chris Walton (2006-07-06) mentioned an article by Stephanie MacLellan in the
-# 2005-07-21 Chronicle-Journal, which said:
-#
-# The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round.
-# This means they spend about half the time on central time and
-# the other half on eastern time.
-#
-# For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said.
-#
-# "The majority of businesses in Atikokan deal more with Eastern
-# Canada, but there are some that deal with Western Canada," he
-# said. "I don't see any changes happening here."
-#
-# Walton also writes "Supposedly Pickle Lake and Mishkeegogamang
-# [New Osnaburgh] follow the same practice."
-
-# From Garry McKinnon (2006-07-14) via Chris Walton:
-# I chatted with a member of my board who has an outstanding memory
-# and a long history in Atikokan (and in the telecom industry) and he
-# can say for certain that Atikokan has been practicing the current
-# time keeping since 1952, at least.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-17):
-# Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River
-# ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from
-# McKinnon sounds more authoritative. For now, assume that Atikokan
-# switched to EST immediately after WWII era daylight saving time
-# ended. This matches the old (less-populous) America/Coral_Harbour
-# entry since our cutoff date of 1970, so we can move
-# America/Coral_Harbour to the 'backward' file.

-# Manitoba
-
-# From Rob Douglas (2006-04-06):
-# the old Manitoba Time Act - as amended by Bill 2, assented to
-# March 27, 1987 ... said ...
-# "between two o'clock Central Standard Time in the morning of
-# the first Sunday of April of each year and two o'clock Central
-# Standard Time in the morning of the last Sunday of October next
-# following, one hour in advance of Central Standard Time."...
-# I believe that the English legislation [of the old time act] had =
-# been assented to (March 22, 1967)....
-# Also, as far as I can tell, there was no order-in-council varying
-# the time of Daylight Saving Time for 2005 and so the provisions of
-# the 1987 version would apply - the changeover was at 2:00 Central
-# Standard Time (i.e. not until 3:00 Central Daylight Time).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-04-10):
-# Shanks & Pottenger say Manitoba switched at 02:00 (not 02:00s)
-# starting 1966. Since 02:00s is clearly correct for 1967 on, assume

-# Saskatchewan
-
-# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
-# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
-# level. As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
-# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
-# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
-# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
-# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
-# the summer". The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
-# time was noted.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
-# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
-# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
-# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
-# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
-# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
-# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
-
-# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
-# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
-# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
-# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
-# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
-#
-# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
-# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
-# their affiliations in one direction or the other. In 1965 a provincial
-# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
-#
-# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
-# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
-# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
-# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
-# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
-# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
-# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
-#
-# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
-# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
-# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
-# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
-# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
-# since sometime in the 1960s.
-
-# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
-# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages
-# long and rather painful to read.

-# history of Mexican local time (in Spanish)
-# </a>.
-#
-# Here are the discrepancies between Shanks & Pottenger (S&P) and the MLoC.
-# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
-# S&P report that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
-# S&P say the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
-# S&P report no DST during summer 1931.
-# S&P report a transition at 1932-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.
-
-# From Gwillim Law (2001-02-20):
-# There are some other discrepancies between the Decrees page and the

-# outlining the timezone changes in Mexico.
-#
-# ------------- Begin Forwarded Message -------------
-#
-# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the
-# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
-#
-# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
-# - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
-# - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
-# - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
-#
-# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
-# at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
-# BajaNorte: GMT+7
-# BajaSur: GMT+6
-# General: GMT+5
-#
-# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
-# BajaNorte: GMT+8
-# BajaSur: GMT+7
-# General: GMT+6
-#
-# The Decree was published in Mexico's Official Newspaper on January 4th.

-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
-# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
-# through 1995. This was as per Shanks (1999). But Shanks & Pottenger say
-# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975. Guy Harris reports
-# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and
-# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
-# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then. This concerns
-# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
-# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
-# name or contents should be.

-# From Arthur David Olson (1999-03-29):
-# The 1999-03-28 exhibition baseball game held in Havana, Cuba, between
-# the Cuban National Team and the Baltimore Orioles was carried live on
-# the Orioles Radio Network, including affiliate WTOP in Washington, DC.
-# During the game, play-by-play announcer Jim Hunter noted that
-# "We'll be losing two hours of sleep...Cuba switched to Daylight Saving
-# Time today." (The "two hour" remark referred to losing one hour of
-# sleep on 1999-03-28--when the announcers were in Cuba as it switched
-# to DST--and one more hour on 1999-04-04--when the announcers will have
-# returned to Baltimore, which switches on that date.)
-
-# From Evert van der Veer via Steffen Thorsen (2004-10-28):
-# Cuba is not going back to standard time this year.
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
-# http://www.granma.cu/ingles/2004/septiembre/juev30/41medid-i.html
-# says that it's due to a problem at the Antonio Guiteras
-# thermoelectric plant, and says "This October there will be no return
-# to normal hours (after daylight saving time)".
-# For now, let's assume that it's a temporary measure.
-
-# From Carlos A. Carnero Delgado (2005-11-12):
-# This year (just like in 2004-2005) there's no change in time zone
-# adjustment in Cuba. We will stay in daylight saving time:
-# http://www.granma.cu/espanol/2005/noviembre/mier9/horario.html

-# the 3 years of permanent DST next weekend, see
-# http://www.granma.cu/ingles/2006/octubre/lun16/43horario.html
-# "On Saturday night, October 28 going into Sunday, October 29, at 01:00,

-#
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-10-25):

-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2008-03-09):
-# I'm in Maryland which is now observing United States Eastern Daylight
-# Time. At 9:44 local time I used RealPlayer to listen to
-# <a href="http://media.enet.cu/radioreloj">
-# http://media.enet.cu/radioreloj
-# </a>, a Cuban information station, and heard
-# the time announced as "ocho cuarenta y cuatro" ("eight forty-four"),
-# indicating that Cuba is still on standard time.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-03-12):
-# It seems that Cuba will start DST on Sunday, 2007-03-16...
-# It was announced yesterday, according to this source (in Spanish):
-# <a href="http://www.nnc.cubaweb.cu/marzo-2008/cien-1-11-3-08.htm">
-# http://www.nnc.cubaweb.cu/marzo-2008/cien-1-11-3-08.htm

-#
-# Some more background information is posted here:

-# http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/cuba-starts-dst-march-16.html
-# </a>
-#
-# The article also says that Cuba has been observing DST since 1963,
-# while Shanks (and tzdata) has 1965 as the first date (except in the
-# 1940's). Many other web pages in Cuba also claim that it has been
-# observed since 1963, but with the exception of 1970 - an exception
-# which is not present in tzdata/Shanks. So there is a chance we need to
-# change some historic records as well.
-#
-# One example:
-# <a href="http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/noticias/mar07/11mar/hor.htm">
-# http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/noticias/mar07/11mar/hor.htm
-# </a>
-
-# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2008-03-13):
-# The Cuban time change has just been confirmed on the most authoritative
-# web site, the Granma. Please check out
-# <a href="http://www.granma.cubaweb.cu/2008/03/13/nacional/artic10.html">
-# http://www.granma.cubaweb.cu/2008/03/13/nacional/artic10.html
-# </a>
-#
-# Basically as expected after Steffen Thorsens information, the change
-# will take place midnight between Saturday and Sunday.
-
-# From Arthur David Olson (2008-03-12):
-# Assume Sun>=15 (third Sunday) going forward.
-
-# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2009-03-04)
-# According to the Radio Reloj - Cuba will start Daylight Saving Time on
-# midnight between Saturday, March 07, 2009 and Sunday, March 08, 2009-
-# not on midnight March 14 / March 15 as previously thought.

-# Haiti
-# From Gwillim Law (2005-04-15):
-# Risto O. Nykanen wrote me that Haiti is now on DST.
-# I searched for confirmation, and I found a
-# <a href="http://www.haitianconsulate.org/time.doc"> press release
-# on the Web page of the Haitian Consulate in Chicago (2005-03-31),
-# </a>. Translated from French, it says:
-#
-# "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general
-# and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior
-# Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the
-# provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next
-# Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd.
-#
-# "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform
-# the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour
-# starting at midnight. This provision will hold until the last Saturday in
-# October 2005.
-#
-# "Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2005"
-#
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04):
-# I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
-# last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
-# "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
-# next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
-#
-# I have found this article about it (in French):
-# http://www.haitipressnetwork.com/news.cfm?articleID=7612
-#
-# The reason seems to be an energy crisis.
-
-# From Stephen Colebourne (2007-02-22):

-# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
-#
-# Gwillim Law writes that a good source

-# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
-# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
-# of the IATA's data after 1990.
-#
-# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for
-# entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.
-#
-# Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and
-# ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote
-# suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST).
-# I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome

-# H L Mencken, _The American Language: Supplement I_ (1960), p 466
-#
-# Earlier editions of these tables also used the North American style
-# for time zones in Brazil, but this was incorrect, as Brazilians say
-# "summer time". Reinaldo Goulart, a Sao Paulo businessman active in
-# the railroad sector, writes (1999-07-06):
-# The subject of time zones is currently a matter of discussion/debate in

-# "official time" because Brasilia is the capital city.
-# The other three time zones are called "Brasilia time "minus one" or
-# "plus one" or "plus two". As far as I know there is no such
-# name/designation as "Eastern Time" or "Central Time".

-# We just checked with our Sao Paulo office and they say the government of
-# Argentina decided not to become one of the countries that go on or off DST.
-# So Buenos Aires should be -3 hours from GMT at all times.
-#
-# From Fabian L. Arce Jofre (2000-04-04):
-# The law that claimed DST for Argentina was derogated by President Fernando
-# de la Rua on March 2, 2000, because it would make people spend more energy
-# in the winter time, rather than less. The change took effect on March 3.
-#
-# From Mariano Absatz (2001-06-06):
-# one of the major newspapers here in Argentina said that the 1999
-# Timezone Law (which never was effectively applied) will (would?) be
-# in effect.... The article is at
-# http://ar.clarin.com/diario/2001-06-06/e-01701.htm
-# ... The Law itself is "Ley No 25155", sanctioned on 1999-08-25, enacted
-# 1999-09-17, and published 1999-09-21. The official publication is at:

-# the timezone for Argentina will not change next Sunday.
-# Apparently it will do so on Sunday 24th....
-# http://ar.clarin.com/diario/2001-06-12/s-03501.htm
-#
-# (2001-06-25):
-# Last Friday (yes, the last working day before the date of the change), the
-# Senate annulled the 1999 law that introduced the changes later postponed.
-# http://www.clarin.com.ar/diario/2001-06-22/s-03601.htm
-# It remains the vote of the Deputies..., but it will be the same....
-# This kind of things had always been done this way in Argentina.
-# We are still -03:00 all year round in all of the country.
-#
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-12-21):
-# A user (Leonardo Chaim) reported that Argentina will adopt DST....
-# all of the country (all Zone-entries) are affected. News reports like
-# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/opinion/nota.asp?nota_id=973037 indicate
-# that Argentina will use DST next year as well, from October to
-# March, although exact rules are not given.
-#
-# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2007-12-26)
-# The last hurdle of Argentina DST is over, the proposal was approved in
-# the lower chamber too (Deputados) with a vote 192 for and 2 against.
-# By the way thanks to Mariano Absatz and Daniel Mario Vega for the link to
-# the original scanned proposal, where the dates and the zero hours are

-# For dates after mid-2008, the following rules are my guesses and

-# "The time change in Tierra del Fuego was a conflicted decision from

-# Our understanding was that the change was originally scheduled to take place

-# http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=0&id=22812

-# confirms what Alex Krivenyshev has earlier sent to the tz
-# emailing list about that San Luis plans to return to standard
-# time much earlier than the rest of the country. It also
-# confirms that upon request the provinces San Juan and Mendoza
-# refused to follow San Luis in this change.
-#
-# The change is supposed to take place Monday the 21.st at 0:00
-# hours. As far as I understand it if this goes ahead, we need

-
-# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2008-01-25):

-# government, and fill in "huso" and click OK, and you will get 3 pages
-# from which the first one is identical to the above.
-
-# From Mariano Absatz (2008-01-28):
-# I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that

-# (that is, Monday 21st at 0:00 is the time the clocks were delayed back
-# 1 hour), and they intend to keep UTC-3 as their timezone all year round
-# (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now).
-#
-# So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San
-# Luis city is the mos populated city in the Province, so it'd be
-# America/Argentina/San_Luis... of course I can't remember if San Luis's
-# history of particular changes goes along with Mendoza or San Juan :-(
-# (I only remember not being able to collect hard facts about San Luis
-# back in 2004, when these provinces changed to UTC-4 for a few days, I
-# mailed them personally and never got an answer).
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2008-06-30):
-# Unless otherwise specified, data are from Shanks & Pottenger through 1992,
-# from the IATA otherwise. As noted below, Shanks & Pottenger say that
-# America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, one of which
-# was America/San_Luis, but we haven't verified this yet so for now we'll
-# keep America/Cordoba a single region rather than splitting it into the
-# other 5 subregions.
-
-# From Mariano Absatz (2009-03-13):
-# Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis
-# decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go
-# to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October...

-# (...) announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis

-#
-# Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus,
-# during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday
-# in March until 24:00 of the second Saturday in October.
-
-# From Mariano Absatz (2009-10-16):
-# ...the Province of San Luis is a case in itself.

-# </a>
-# is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
-# October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
-# complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
-# ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
-#
-# This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
-#
-# IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
-# Sunday of October and March.
-#
-# The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
-# change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
-# that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
-#
-# In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
-# (October 11th) at 0:00.
-#
-# So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
-# America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
-#
-# I'm enclosing a patch that does what I say... regretfully, the San Luis
-# timezone must be called "WART/WARST" even when most of the time (like,
-# right now) WARST == ART... that is, since last Sunday, all the country
-# is using UTC-3, but in my patch, San Luis calls it "WARST" and the rest
-# of the country calls it "ART".

-
-# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
-# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
-# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
-# The rule change lasted only part of the day;
-# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
-# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
-
-# From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
-# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
-# Santa Catarina (SC), Parana (PR), Sao Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
-# Espirito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goias (GO),
-# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
-# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
-
-# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
-# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goias until 1989), and other
-# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
-# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
-# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until
-# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
-# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
-# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
-# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
-# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
-# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2
-# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West.
-# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
-# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each
-# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that
-# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE),
-# Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do
-# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.

-# <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html">
-# Brazilian official page
-# </a>
-
-# From Jesper Norgaard (2000-11-03):
-# [For an official list of which regions in Brazil use which time zones, see:]
-# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm
-# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm
-
-# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
-# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
-#
-# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
-# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
-# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
-# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
-# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
-# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
-# take place on October 27th.
-#
-# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
-# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
-# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
-# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
-# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
-
-# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
-# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
-# modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
-# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20):
-# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00:

-
-# From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24):
-# ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario
-# Oficial da Uniao"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones,
-# effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows:
-#
-# a) The timezone UTC+5 is e[x]tinguished, with all the Acre state and the
-# part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the
-# timezone UTC+4
-# b) The whole Para state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just
-# part of it, as was before.
-#
-# This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that
-# proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying
-# programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone
-# UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections
-# were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This
-# change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June,
-# 1913.
-
-# From Rodrigo Severo (2008-06-24):
-# Just correcting the URL:

-# https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008
-# </a>
-#
-# As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco
-# timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall
-# be created to represent the the west side of the Para State. I
-# suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most
-# important/populated city in the affected area.
-#
-# This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to
-# the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4.
-
-# From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-06-24):

-#
-# - 4 time zones replaced by 3 time zones-eliminating time zone UTC- 05
-# (state Acre and the part of the Amazonas will be UTC/GMT- 04) - western
-# part of Par state is moving to one timezone UTC- 03 (from UTC -04).

-# </a>.
-
-# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-08-29):
-# As announced by the government and many newspapers in Brazil late
-# yesterday, Brazil will start DST on 2008-10-19 (need to change rule) and
-# it will end on 2009-02-15 (current rule for Brazil is fine). Based on
-# past years experience with the elections, there was a good chance that
-# the start was postponed to November, but it did not happen this year.

-# Chile
-
-# From Eduardo Krell (1995-10-19):
-# The law says to switch to DST at midnight [24:00] on the second SATURDAY
-# of October.... The law is the same for March and October.
-# (1998-09-29):
-# Because of the drought this year, the government decided to go into
-# DST earlier (saturday 9/26 at 24:00). This is a one-time change only ...
-# (unless there's another dry season next year, I guess).
-
-# From Julio I. Pacheco Troncoso (1999-03-18):
-# Because of the same drought, the government decided to end DST later,
-# on April 3, (one-time change).
-
-# From Oscar van Vlijmen (2006-10-08):
-# http://www.horaoficial.cl/cambio.htm
-
-# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2006-10-08):
-# I think that there are some obvious mistakes in the suggested link
-# from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66 says that GMT-4
-# ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at 1990-09-15
-# (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16 respectively), but
-# anyhow it clears up some doubts too.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2006-12-27):
-# The following data for Chile and America/Santiago are from
-# <http://www.horaoficial.cl/horaof.htm> (2006-09-20), transcribed by
-# Jesper Norgaard Welen. The data for Pacific/Easter are from Shanks
-# & Pottenger, except with DST transitions after 1932 cloned from
-# America/Santiago. The pre-1980 Pacific/Easter data are dubious,
-# but we have no other source.
-
-# From German Poo-Caaman~o (2008-03-03):
-# Due to drought, Chile extends Daylight Time in three weeks. This
-# is one-time change (Saturday 3/29 at 24:00 for America/Santiago
-# and Saturday 3/29 at 22:00 for Pacific/Easter)

-# From Rives McDow (2001-02-13):
-#
-# I have communicated several times with people there, and the last
-# time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is
-# what was said then:
-#
-# "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
-# did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
-# started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
-# There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
-# personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
-# uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
-# it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
-# and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule
-# is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time
-# as UK or Chile."
-#
-# I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
-# 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does
-# not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
-#
-# Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
-# Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there
-# that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
-# West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
-# DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
-# it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
-#
-# I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
-# which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
-# the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her
-# customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner.
-
-# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
-# For now, we'll just record the time in Stanley, since we have no
-# better info.
