2747 # <news:54rka5$m5h@mtinsc01-mgt.ops.worldnet.att.net> (1996-10-26):
2748 # With effect from 12.30 a.m. on 26th October 1996

2756 # From Peter Apps and Ranga Sirila of Reuters (2006-04-12) in:
2757 # http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=scienceNews&storyID=2006-04-12T172228Z_01_COL295762_RTRIDST_0_SCIENCE-SRILANKA-TIME-DC.XML
2758 # [The Tamil Tigers] never accepted the original 1996 time change and simply
2759 # kept their clocks set five and a half hours ahead of Greenwich Mean
2760 # Time (GMT), in line with neighbor India.
2761 # From Paul Eggert (2006-04-18):
2762 # People who live in regions under Tamil control can use [TZ='Asia/Kolkata'],
2763 # as that zone has agreed with the Tamil areas since our cutoff date of 1970.
2764 
2765 # From K Sethu (2006-04-25):
2766 # I think the abbreviation LKT originated from the world of computers at
2767 # the time of or subsequent to the time zone changes by SL Government
2768 # twice in 1996 and probably SL Government or its standardization
2769 # agencies never declared an abbreviation as a national standard.
2770 #
2771 # I recollect before the recent change the government announcements
2772 # mentioning it as simply changing Sri Lanka Standard Time or Sri Lanka
2773 # Time and no mention was made about the abbreviation.
2774 #
2775 # If we look at Sri Lanka Department of Government's "Official News
2776 # Website of Sri Lanka" ... http://www.news.lk/ we can see that they
2777 # use SLT as abbreviation in time stamp at the beginning of each news
2778 # item....
2779 #
2780 # Within Sri Lanka I think LKT is well known among computer users and
2781 # administrators.  In my opinion SLT may not be a good choice because the
2782 # nation's largest telcom / internet operator Sri Lanka Telcom is well
2783 # known by that abbreviation - simply as SLT (there IP domains are
2784 # slt.lk and sltnet.lk).
2785 #
2786 # But if indeed our government has adopted SLT as standard abbreviation
2787 # (that we have not known so far) then  it is better that it be used for
2788 # all computers.

2790 # From Paul Eggert (2006-04-25):
