  32 # From Paul Eggert (2013-02-21):
  33 #
  34 # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
  35 # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
  36 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
  37 #
  38 # Gwillim Law writes that a good source
  39 # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
  40 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
  41 # published semiannually.  Law sent in several helpful summaries
  42 # of the IATA's data after 1990.
  43 #
  44 # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for
  45 # entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.
  46 #
  47 # Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
  48 # Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
  49 # I found in the UCLA library.
  50 #
  51 # For data circa 1899, a common source is:
  52 # Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94
  53 # <http://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359>.
  54 #
  55 # A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
  56 # Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
  57 #
  58 # Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
  59 # for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
  60 # but Mark R V Murray reports that
  61 # `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,
  62 # `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and
  63 # `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for
  64 # the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''.
  65 # He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference.
  66 #
  67 # To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
  68 # I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
  69 # and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
  70 # This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
  71 # mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
  72 #
  73 # To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
  74 #       -1:00   WAT     West Africa Time (no longer used)
  75 #        0:00   GMT     Greenwich Mean Time
  76 #        2:00   CAT     Central Africa Time
  77 #        2:00   SAST    South Africa Standard Time
  78 # and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
  79 #        1:00   WAT     West Africa Time
  80 # I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
  81 # for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
  82 # until we get more information.
  83 #
  84 # I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
  85 #        2:00   WAST    West Africa Summer Time
  86 #        2:30   BEAT    British East Africa Time (no longer used)
  87 #        2:45   BEAUT   British East Africa Unified Time (no longer used)

  90 #        3:00   EAT     East Africa Time

 281 # From Abdelrahman Hassan (2007-09-06):
 282 # Due to the Hijri (lunar Islamic calendar) year being 11 days shorter
 283 # than the year of the Gregorian calendar, Ramadan shifts earlier each
 284 # year. This year it will be observed September 13 (September is quite
 285 # hot in Egypt), and the idea is to make fasting easier for workers by
 286 # shifting business hours one hour out of daytime heat. Consequently,
 287 # unless discontinued, next DST may end Thursday 28 August 2008.
 288 # From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):
 289 # For lack of better info, assume the new rule is last Thursday in August.

 558 # (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier
 559 # than previously announced (2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31).  The new start
 560 # date is 2008-10-26 at 02:00 and the new end date is 2009-03-27 (no time
 561 # given, but it is probably at either 2 or 3 wall clock time).
 562 #
 563 # A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date
 564 # to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date,
 565 # but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in
 566 # USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November). I also wonder
 567 # why that they end on a Friday, instead of aligning with Europe which
 568 # changes two days later.

 840 # From Arthur David Olson (2012-03-10):
 841 # The infomediaire.ma source indicates that the system is to be in
 842 # effect every year. It gives 03H00 as the "fall back" time of day;
 843 # it lacks a "spring forward" time of day; assume 2:00 XXX.
 844 # Wait on specifying the Ramadan exception for details about
 845 # start date, start time of day, end date, and end time of day XXX.

 863 # Pursuant to Decree No. 2-12-126 issued on 26 Jumada (I) 1433 (April 18,
 864 # 2012) and in accordance with the order of Mr. President of the

 868 # Monday, August 20, 2012.  So the time will be delayed by 60 minutes from

 872 # From Paul Eggert (2013-03-06):
 873 # Morocco's daylight-saving transitions due to Ramadan seem to be
 874 # announced a bit in advance.  On 2012-07-11 the Moroccan government
 875 # announced that year's Ramadan daylight-saving transitions would be
 876 # 2012-07-20 and 2012-08-20; see
 877 # <http://www.mmsp.gov.ma/fr/actualites.aspx?id=288>.
 878 #
 879 # To estimate what the Moroccan government will do in future years,
 880 # transition dates for 2013 through 2021 were determined by running
 881 # the following program under GNU Emacs 24.3:

 897 #     (setq islamic-year (+ 1 islamic-year))))
 898 #
 899 # with the results hand-edited for 2020-2022, when the normal spring-forward
 900 # date falls during the estimated Ramadan.
 901 #
 902 # From 2023 through 2038 Ramadan is not predicted to overlap with

1143 # From Gwillim Law (2005-04-30):
1144 # My correspondent, Risto Nykanen, has alerted me to another adoption of DST,
1145 # this time in Tunisia.  According to Yahoo France News
1146 # <http://fr.news.yahoo.com/050426/5/4dumk.html>, in a story attributed to AP
1147 # and dated 2005-04-26, "Tunisia has decided to advance its official time by
1148 # one hour, starting on Sunday, May 1.  Henceforth, Tunisian time will be
1149 # UTC+2 instead of UTC+1.  The change will take place at 23:00 UTC next
1150 # Saturday."  (My translation)

1198 # Therefore, the standard time will be kept unchanged the whole year long."
1199 # So foregoing DST seems to be an exception (albeit one that may be repeated in the  future).
