43# To make things confusing, 'WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
44# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,

429# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
430# In 1972 Liberia was the last country to switch
431# from a UTC offset that was not a multiple of 15 or 20 minutes.
432# Howse reports that it was in honor of their president's birthday.
433# Shank & Pottenger report the date as May 1, whereas Howse reports Jan;
434# go with Shanks & Pottenger.
435# For Liberia before 1972, Shanks & Pottenger report -0:44, whereas Howse and
436# Whitman each report -0:44:30; go with the more precise figure.

424# From Paul Eggert (2017-03-02):
425#
426# The Nautical Almanac for the Year 1970, p 264, is the source for -0:44:30.
427#
428# In 1972 Liberia was the last country to switch from a UTC offset
429# that was not a multiple of 15 or 20 minutes. The 1972 change was on
430# 1972-01-07, according to an entry dated 1972-01-04 on p 330 of:
431# Presidential Papers: First year of the administration of
432# President William R. Tolbert, Jr., July 23, 1971-July 31, 1972.
433# Monrovia: Executive Mansion.
434#
435# Use the abbreviation "MMT" before 1972, as the more-accurate numeric
436# abbreviation "-004430" would be one byte over the POSIX limit.

780# Morocco extends DST by one month, on very short notice, just 1 day
781# before it was going to end. There is a new decree (2.13.781) for
782# this, where DST from now on goes from last Sunday of March at 02:00
783# to last Sunday of October at 03:00, similar to EU rules. Official

954# While the entire country changes its time, Katima Mulilo and other
955# settlements in Caprivi unofficially will not because the sun there
956# rises and sets earlier compared to other regions. Chief of
957# Forecasting Riaan van Zyl explained that the far eastern parts of
958# the country are close to 40 minutes earlier in sunrise than the rest
959# of the country.

953# Apparently the Caprivi Strip informally observes Botswana time, but
954# we have no details. In the meantime people there can use Africa/Gaborone.

1164# From Arthur David Olson (2009-03-18):
1165# The Tunis Afrique Presse News Agency notice contains this: "This measure is
1166# due to the fact that the fasting month of Ramadan coincides with the period
1167# concerned by summer time. Therefore, the standard time will be kept
1168# unchanged the whole year long." So foregoing DST seems to be an exception
1169# (albeit one that may be repeated in the future).
1170
1171# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-03-27):
1172# According to some news reports Tunis confirmed not to use DST in 2010
1173#
1174# (translation):
1175# "The Tunisian government has decided to abandon DST, which was scheduled on
1176# Sunday...
1177# Tunisian authorities had suspended the DST for the first time last year also
1178# coincided with the month of Ramadan..."
