-# the official calendar book of 1914.
-# * The French Concession in Shanghai set up signal stations in

-# * "From the end of the 19th century" it changed to UT+8.
-# * Chinese Customs (by then reduced to a tool of foreign powers)

# Taipei has DST in 1979 between July 1st and Sep 30.
-# From Yu-Cheng Chuang (2013-07-12):
-# On Dec 28, 1895, the Meiji Emperor announced Ordinance No. 167 of
-# Meiji Year 28 "The clause about standard time", mentioned that
-# Taiwan and Penghu Islands, as well as Yaeyama and Miyako Islands
-# (both in Okinawa) adopt the Western Standard Time which is based on
-# 120E. The adoption began from Jan 1, 1896. The original text can be
-# found on Wikisource:
-# http://ja.wikisource.org/wiki/標準時ニ關スル件_(公布時)
-# ... This could be the first adoption of time zone in Taiwan, because
-# during the Qing Dynasty, it seems that there was no time zone
-# declared officially.
-#
-# Later, in the beginning of World War II, on Sep 25, 1937, the Showa
-# Emperor announced Ordinance No. 529 of Showa Year 12 "The clause of
-# revision in the ordinance No. 167 of Meiji year 28 about standard
-# time", in which abolished the adoption of Western Standard Time in
-# western islands (listed above), which means the whole Japan
-# territory, including later occupations, adopt Japan Central Time
-# (UTC+9). The adoption began on Oct 1, 1937. The original text can
-# be found on Wikisource:

-#
-# That is, the time zone of Taipei switched to UTC+9 on Oct 1, 1937.
-
-# From Yu-Cheng Chuang (2014-07-02):
-# I've found more evidence about when the time zone was switched from UTC+9
-# back to UTC+8 after WW2. I believe it was on Sep 21, 1945. In a document
-# during Japanese era [1] in which the officer told the staff to change time
-# zone back to Western Standard Time (UTC+8) on Sep 21. And in another
-# history page of National Cheng Kung University [2], on Sep 21 there is a
-# note "from today, switch back to Western Standard Time". From these two
-# materials, I believe that the time zone change happened on Sep 21. And
-# today I have found another monthly journal called "The Astronomical Herald"
-# from The Astronomical Society of Japan [3] in which it mentioned the fact
-# that:
-#
-# 1. Standard Time of the Country (Japan) was adopted on Jan 1, 1888, using
-# the time at 135E (GMT+9)
-#
-# 2. Standard Time of the Country was renamed to Central Standard Time, on Jan
-# 1, 1898, and on the same day, the new territories Taiwan and Penghu islands,
-# as well as Yaeyama and Miyako islands, adopted a new time zone called
-# Western Standard Time, which is in GMT+8.
-#
-# 3. Western Standard Time was deprecated on Sep 30, 1937. From then all the
-# territories of Japan adopted the same time zone, which is Central Standard
-# Time.

-# From Paul Eggert (2014-07-15):
-# Time in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Arabian peninsula was not
-# standardized until relatively recently; we don't know when, and possibly it
-# has never been made official. Richard P Hunt, in "Islam city yielding to
-# modern times", New York Times (1961-04-09), p 20, wrote that only airlines
-# observed standard time, and that people in Jeddah mostly observed quasi-solar
-# time, doing so by setting their watches at sunrise to 6 o'clock (or to 12
-# o'clock for "Arab" time).
-#
-# The TZ database cannot represent quasi-solar time; airline time is the best
-# we can do. The 1946 foreign air news digest of the U.S. Civil Aeronautics
-# Board (OCLC 42299995) reported that the "... Arabian Government, inaugurated
-# a weekly Dhahran-Cairo service, via the Saudi Arabian cities of Riyadh and
-# Jidda, on March 14, 1947". Shanks & Pottenger guessed 1950; go with the
-# earlier date.
-#
-# Shanks & Pottenger also state that until 1968-05-01 Saudi Arabia had two
-# time zones; the other zone, at UTC+4, was in the far eastern part of
-# the country. Ignore this, as it's before our 1970 cutoff.

# Australia
-# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-30):
-# Daylight saving time has long been controversial in Australia, pitting
-# region against region, rural against urban, and local against global.
-# For example, in her review of Graeme Davison's _The Unforgiving
-# Minute: how Australians learned to tell the time_ (1993), Perth native
-# Phillipa J Martyr wrote, "The section entitled 'Saving Daylight' was
-# very informative, but was (as can, sadly, only be expected from a
-# Melbourne-based study) replete with the usual chuckleheaded
-# Queenslanders and straw-chewing yokels from the West prattling fables
-# about fading curtains and crazed farm animals."

+# Given the above, what's chosen for year-round use is:

+# 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.:
#
-# Inspired by Mackin's remarks quoted above, earlier versions of this
-# file used "EST" for both Eastern Standard Time and Eastern Summer
-# Time in Australia, and similarly for "CST", "CWST", and "WST".
-# However, these abbreviations were confusing and were not common
-# practice among Australians, and there were justifiable complaints
-# about them, so I attempted to survey current Australian usage.
-# For the tz database, the full English phrase is not that important;
-# what matters is the abbreviation. It's difficult to survey the web
-# directly for abbreviation usage, as there are so many false hits for
-# strings like "EST" and "EDT", so I looked for pages that defined an
-# abbreviation for eastern or central DST in Australia, and got the
-# following numbers of unique hits for the listed Google queries:
+# I see the following points of dispute:
+#
+# * How important are unique time zone abbreviations?
#
-# 10 "Eastern Daylight Time AEST" site:au [some are false hits]
-# 10 "Eastern Summer Time AEST" site:au
-# 10 "Summer Time AEDT" site:au
-# 13 "EDST Eastern Daylight Saving Time" site:au
-# 18 "Summer Time ESST" site:au
-# 28 "Eastern Daylight Saving Time EDST" site:au
-# 39 "EDT Eastern Daylight Time" site:au [some are false hits]
-# 53 "Eastern Daylight Time EDT" site:au [some are false hits]
-# 54 "AEDT Australian Eastern Daylight Time" site:au
-# 182 "Eastern Daylight Time AEDT" site:au
-#
-# 17 "Central Daylight Time CDT" site:au [some are false hits]
-# 46 "Central Daylight Time ACDT" site:au
+# 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.
#
-# I tried several other variants (e.g., "Eastern Summer Time EST") but
-# they all returned fewer than 10 unique hits. I also looked for pages
-# mentioning both "western standard time" and an abbreviation, since
-# there is no WST in the US to generate false hits, and found:
+# 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.
#
-# 156 "western standard time" AWST site:au
-# 226 "western standard time" WST site:au
+# * Does the relevant legislation indicate which abbreviations should be used?
#
-# I then surveyed the top ten newspapers in Australia by circulation as
-# listed in Wikipedia, using Google queries like "AEDT site:heraldsun.com.au"
-# and obtaining estimated counts from the initial page of search results.
-# All ten papers greatly preferred "AEDT" to "EDT". The papers
-# surveyed were the Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Courier-Mail,
-# The Sydney Morning Herald, The West Australian, The Age, The Advertiser,
-# The Australian, The Financial Review, and The Herald (Newcastle).
+# 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.
#
-# I also searched for historical usage, to see whether abbreviations
-# like "AEDT" are new. A Trove search <http://trove.nla.gov.au/>
-# found only one newspaper (The Canberra Times) with a house style
-# dating back to the 1970s, I expect because other newspapers weren't
-# fully indexed. The Canberra Times strongly preferred abbreviations
-# like "AEDT". The first occurrence of "AEDT" was a World Weather
-# column (1971-11-17, page 24), and of "ACDT" was a Scoreboard column
-# (1993-01-24, p 16). The style was the typical usage but was not
-# strictly enforced; for example, "Welcome to the twilight zones ..."
-# (1994-10-29, p 1) uses the abbreviations AEST/AEDT, CST/CDT, and
-# WST, and goes on to say, "The confusion and frustration some feel
-# about the lack of uniformity among Australia's six states and two
-# territories has prompted one group to form its very own political
-# party -- the Sydney-based Daylight Saving Extension Party."
+# * 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:
#
-# I also surveyed federal government sources. They did not agree:
+# 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

+# 10,416 "AEDT" and domain:au
#
-# The Transport Safety Bureau has an extensive series of accident reports,
-# and investigators seem to use whatever abbreviation they like.
-# Googling site:atsb.gov.au found the following number of unique hits:
-# 311 "ESuT", 195 "EDT", 26 "AEDT", 83 "CSuT", 46 "CDT".
-# "_SuT" tended to appear in older reports, and "A_DT" tended to

+# 14,538 "CST" and domain:au
+# 5,728 "CDT" and domain:au

+# 29 "ACDT" and domain:au
+#
+# 7,539 "WST" and domain:au
+# 68 "AWST" and domain:au
#
-# From the above it appears that there is a working consensus in
-# Australia to use trailing "DT" for daylight saving time; although
-# some sources use trailing "SST" or "ST" or "SuT" they are by far in
-# the minority. The case for leading "A" is weaker, but since it
-# seems to be preferred in the overall web and is preferred in all
-# the leading newspaper websites and in many government departments,
-# it has a stronger case than omitting the leading "A". The current
-# version of the database therefore uses abbreviations like "AEST" and
-# "AEDT" for Australian time zones.
+# 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

-# 1. The countries that overlap the zone, as a comma-separated list
-# of ISO 3166 2-character country codes. See the file 'iso3166.tab'.
-# 2. Latitude and longitude of the zone's principal location
+# 1. ISO 3166 2-character country code. See the file 'iso3166.tab'.
