2742# From K Sethu (2006-04-25):
2743# I think the abbreviation LKT originated from the world of computers at
2744# the time of or subsequent to the time zone changes by SL Government
2745# twice in 1996 and probably SL Government or its standardization
2746# agencies never declared an abbreviation as a national standard.
2752# From Sadika Sumanapala (2016-10-19):
2753# According to http://www.sltime.org (maintained by Measurement Units,
2754# Standards & Services Department, Sri Lanka) abbreviation for Sri Lanka
2755# standard time is SLST.
2747#
2756#
2748# I recollect before the recent change the government announcements
2749# mentioning it as simply changing Sri Lanka Standard Time or Sri Lanka
2750# Time and no mention was made about the abbreviation.
2751#
2752# If we look at Sri Lanka Department of Government's "Official News
2753# Website of Sri Lanka" ... http://www.news.lk/ we can see that they
2754# use SLT as abbreviation in time stamp at the beginning of each news
2755# item....
2756#
2757# Within Sri Lanka I think LKT is well known among computer users and
2758# administrators. In my opinion SLT may not be a good choice because the
2759# nation's largest telcom / internet operator Sri Lanka Telcom is well
2760# known by that abbreviation - simply as SLT (there IP domains are
2761# slt.lk and sltnet.lk).
2762#
2763# But if indeed our government has adopted SLT as standard abbreviation
2764# (that we have not known so far) then it is better that it be used for
2765# all computers.
2757# From Paul Eggert (2016-10-18):
2758# "SLST" seems to be reasonably recent and rarely-used outside time
2759# zone nerd sources. I searched Google News and found three uses of
2760# it in the International Business Times of India in February and
2761# March of this year when discussing cricket match times, but nothing
2762# since then (though there has been a lot of cricket) and nothing in
2763# other English-language news sources. Our old abbreviation "LKT" is
2764# even worse. For now, let's use a numeric abbreviation; we can
2765# switch to "SLST" if it catches on.
2766
2766
2767# From Paul Eggert (2006-04-25):
2768# One possibility is that we wait for a bit for the dust to settle down
2769# and then see what people actually say in practice.
