510# From Jonathan Lennox <lennox@cs.columbia.edu> (2000-06-12):
511# An article in this week's Economist ("Inside the Saddam-free zone", p. 50 in
512# the U.S. edition) on the Iraqi Kurds contains a paragraph:
513# "The three northern provinces ... switched their clocks this spring and
514# are an hour ahead of Baghdad."
515#
516# But Rives McDow (2000-06-18) quotes a contact in Iraqi-Kurdistan as follows:
517# In the past, some Kurdish nationalists, as a protest to the Iraqi
518# Government, did not adhere to daylight saving time. They referred
519# to daylight saving as Saddam time. But, as of today, the time zone
520# in Iraqi-Kurdistan is on standard time with Baghdad, Iraq.
521#
522# So we'll ignore the Economist's claim.

546# From Ephraim Silverberg (2001-01-11):
547#
548# I coined "IST/IDT" circa 1988. Until then there were three
549# different abbreviations in use:
550#
551# JST Jerusalem Standard Time [Danny Braniss, Hebrew University]
552# IZT Israel Zonal (sic) Time [Prof. Haim Papo, Technion]
553# EEST Eastern Europe Standard Time [used by almost everyone else]
554#
555# Since timezones should be called by country and not capital cities,
556# I ruled out JST. As Israel is in Asia Minor and not Eastern Europe,
557# EEST was equally unacceptable. Since "zonal" was not compatible with
558# any other timezone abbreviation, I felt that 'IST' was the way to go
559# and, indeed, it has received almost universal acceptance in timezone
560# settings in Israeli computers.
561#
562# In any case, I am happy to share timezone abbreviations with India,
563# high on my favorite-country list (and not only because my wife's
564# family is from India).

611
612# According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of
613# Interior, there is NO set rule for Daylight-Savings/Standard time changes.
614# One thing is entrenched in law, however: that there must be at least 150
615# days of daylight savings time annually. From 1993-1998, the change to
616# daylight savings time was on a Friday morning from midnight IST to
617# 1 a.m IDT; up until 1998, the change back to standard time was on a
618# Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time to 11 p.m. standard
619# time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the change back to standard
620# time took place on Sunday night instead of Saturday night to avoid
621# conflicts with the Jewish New Year. In 1999, the change to
622# daylight savings time was still on a Friday morning but from
623# 2 a.m. IST to 3 a.m. IDT; furthermore, the change back to standard time
624# was also on a Friday morning from 2 a.m. IDT to 1 a.m. IST for
625# 1999 only. In the year 2000, the change to daylight savings time was
626# similar to 1999, but although the change back will be on a Friday, it
627# will take place from 1 a.m. IDT to midnight IST. Starting in 2001, all
628# changes to/from will take place at 1 a.m. old time, but now there is no
629# rule as to what day of the week it will take place in as the start date
630# (except in 2003) is the night after the Passover Seder (i.e. the eve
631# of the 16th of Nisan in the lunar Hebrew calendar) and the end date
632# (except in 2002) is three nights before Yom Kippur [Day of Atonement]
633# (the eve of the 7th of Tishrei in the lunar Hebrew calendar).

724
725# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-03-06):
726# Today's _Asahi Evening News_ (page 4) reports that Japan had
727# daylight saving between 1948 and 1951, but ``the system was discontinued
728# because the public believed it would lead to longer working hours.''
729# Shanks writes that daylight saving in Japan during those years was as follows:

735# but the only locations using it were US military bases.
736# We go with Shanks and omit daylight saving in those years for Asia/Tokyo.
737
738# From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-09):
739# 'Tokyo' usually stands for the former location of Tokyo Astronomical
740# Observatory: E 139 44' 40".90 (9h 18m 58s.727), N 35 39' 16".0.
741# This data is from 'Rika Nenpyou (Chronological Scientific Tables) 1996'
742# edited by National Astronomical Observatory of Japan....
743# JST (Japan Standard Time) has been used since 1888-01-01 00:00 (JST).
744# The law is enacted on 1886-07-07.
745
746# From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-16):
747# The ordinance No. 51 (1886) established "standard time" in Japan,
748# which stands for the time on E 135 degree.
749# In the ordinance No. 167 (1895), "standard time" was renamed to "central
750# standard time". And the same ordinance also established "western standard
751# time", which stands for the time on E 120 degree.... But "western standard
752# time" was abolished in the ordinance No. 529 (1937). In the ordinance No.
753# 167, there is no mention regarding for what place western standard time is
754# standard....
755#
756# I wrote "ordinance" above, but I don't know how to translate.
757# In Japanese it's "chokurei", which means ordinance from emperor.
758
759# Shanks claims JST in use since 1896, and that a few places (e.g. Ishigaki)
760# use +0800; go with Suzuki. Guess that all ordinances took effect on Jan 1.

522# From Jonathan Lennox <lennox@cs.columbia.edu> (2000-06-12):
523# An article in this week's Economist ("Inside the Saddam-free zone", p. 50 in
524# the U.S. edition) on the Iraqi Kurds contains a paragraph:
525# "The three northern provinces ... switched their clocks this spring and
526# are an hour ahead of Baghdad."
527#
528# But Rives McDow (2000-06-18) quotes a contact in Iraqi-Kurdistan as follows:
529# In the past, some Kurdish nationalists, as a protest to the Iraqi
530# Government, did not adhere to daylight saving time. They referred
531# to daylight saving as Saddam time. But, as of today, the time zone
532# in Iraqi-Kurdistan is on standard time with Baghdad, Iraq.
533#
534# So we'll ignore the Economist's claim.

556# Israel
557
558# From Ephraim Silverberg (2001-01-11):
559#
560# I coined "IST/IDT" circa 1988. Until then there were three
561# different abbreviations in use:
562#
563# JST Jerusalem Standard Time [Danny Braniss, Hebrew University]
564# IZT Israel Zonal (sic) Time [Prof. Haim Papo, Technion]
565# EEST Eastern Europe Standard Time [used by almost everyone else]
566#
567# Since timezones should be called by country and not capital cities,
568# I ruled out JST. As Israel is in Asia Minor and not Eastern Europe,
569# EEST was equally unacceptable. Since "zonal" was not compatible with
570# any other timezone abbreviation, I felt that 'IST' was the way to go
571# and, indeed, it has received almost universal acceptance in timezone
572# settings in Israeli computers.
573#
574# In any case, I am happy to share timezone abbreviations with India,
575# high on my favorite-country list (and not only because my wife's
576# family is from India).

623
624# According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of
625# Interior, there is NO set rule for Daylight-Savings/Standard time changes.
626# One thing is entrenched in law, however: that there must be at least 150
627# days of daylight savings time annually. From 1993-1998, the change to
628# daylight savings time was on a Friday morning from midnight IST to
629# 1 a.m IDT; up until 1998, the change back to standard time was on a
630# Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time to 11 p.m. standard
631# time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the change back to standard
632# time took place on Sunday night instead of Saturday night to avoid
633# conflicts with the Jewish New Year. In 1999, the change to
634# daylight savings time was still on a Friday morning but from
635# 2 a.m. IST to 3 a.m. IDT; furthermore, the change back to standard time

736
737# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-03-06):
738# Today's _Asahi Evening News_ (page 4) reports that Japan had
739# daylight saving between 1948 and 1951, but ``the system was discontinued
740# because the public believed it would lead to longer working hours.''
741# Shanks writes that daylight saving in Japan during those years was as follows:
742# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S

747# but the only locations using it were US military bases.
748# We go with Shanks and omit daylight saving in those years for Asia/Tokyo.
749
750# From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-09):
751# 'Tokyo' usually stands for the former location of Tokyo Astronomical
752# Observatory: E 139 44' 40".90 (9h 18m 58s.727), N 35 39' 16".0.
753# This data is from 'Rika Nenpyou (Chronological Scientific Tables) 1996'
754# edited by National Astronomical Observatory of Japan....
755# JST (Japan Standard Time) has been used since 1888-01-01 00:00 (JST).
756# The law is enacted on 1886-07-07.
757
758# From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-16):
759# The ordinance No. 51 (1886) established "standard time" in Japan,
760# which stands for the time on E 135 degree.
761# In the ordinance No. 167 (1895), "standard time" was renamed to "central
762# standard time". And the same ordinance also established "western standard
763# time", which stands for the time on E 120 degree.... But "western standard
764# time" was abolished in the ordinance No. 529 (1937). In the ordinance No.
765# 167, there is no mention regarding for what place western standard time is
766# standard....
767#
768# I wrote "ordinance" above, but I don't know how to translate.
769# In Japanese it's "chokurei", which means ordinance from emperor.
770
771# Shanks claims JST in use since 1896, and that a few places (e.g. Ishigaki)
772# use +0800; go with Suzuki. Guess that all ordinances took effect on Jan 1.
