30# I added so many Zone names that the old, mostly flat name space was unwieldy. 31# So I renamed the Zones to have the form AREA/LOCATION, where 32# AREA is the name of a continent or ocean, and 33# LOCATION is the name of a specific location within that region. 34# For example, the old zone name `Egypt' is now `Africa/Cairo'.
| 30# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT 31# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively, 32# but Mark R V Murray <markm@iafrica.com> reports that 33# `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa, 34# `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and 35# `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for 36# the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''. 37# He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference.
|
35#
| 38#
|
36# Here are the general rules I used for choosing location names, 37# in decreasing order of importance:
| 39# To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago; 40# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00, 41# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00. 42# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African 43# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
|
38#
| 44#
|
39# Use only valid Posix file names. Use only Ascii letters, digits, `.', 40# `-' and `_'. Do not exceed 14 characters or start with `-'. 41# E.g. prefer `Brunei' to `Bandar_Seri_Begawan'. 42# Include at least one location per time zone rule set per country. 43# One such location is enough. 44# If all the clocks in a country's region have agreed since 1970, 45# don't bother to include more than one location 46# even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970. 47# Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large. 48# If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative; 49# e.g. many cities are named San Jose and Georgetown, so 50# prefer `Costa_Rica' to `San_Jose' and `Guyana' to `Georgetown'. 51# Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries 52# or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split 53# locations into different time zones. E.g. prefer `Paris' 54# to `France', since France has had multiple time zones. 55# Use traditional English spelling, e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Roma', and 56# prefer `Athens' to the true name (which uses Greek letters). 57# The Posix file name restrictions encourage this rule. 58# Use the most populous among locations in a country's time zone, 59# e.g. prefer `Shanghai' to `Beijing'. Among locations with 60# similar populations, pick the best-known location, 61# e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Milan'. 62# Use the singular form, e.g. prefer `Canary' to `Canaries'. 63# Omit common suffixes like `_Islands' and `_City', unless that 64# would lead to ambiguity. E.g. prefer `Cayman' to 65# `Cayman_Islands' and `Guatemala' to `Guatemala_City', 66# but prefer `Mexico_City' to `Mexico' because the country 67# of Mexico has several time zones. 68# Use `_' to represent a space. 69# Omit `.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer `St_Helena' 70# to `St._Helena'.
| 45# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency: 46# -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used) 47# 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time 48# 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time 49# 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time 50# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation: 51# 1:00 WAT West Africa Time 52# I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00 53# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of 54# until we get more information.
|
71#
| 55#
|
72# For time zone abbreviations like `EST' I used the following rules, 73# in decreasing order of importance: 74# 75# Use abbreviations that consist of 3 or more upper-case Ascii letters, 76# except use "___" for locations while uninhabited. 77# Posix.1 requires at least 3 characters, and the restriction to 78# upper-case Ascii letters follows most traditions. 79# Previous editions of this database also used characters like 80# ' ' and '?', but these characters have a special meaning to 81# the shell and cause commands like 82# set `date` 83# to have unexpected effects. In theory, the character set could 84# be !%./@A-Z^_a-z{}, but these tables use only upper-case 85# Ascii letters (and "___"). 86# Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers, 87# e.g. `EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America. 88# We assume that applications translate them to other languages 89# as part of the normal localization process; for example, 90# a French application might translate `EST' to `HNE'. 91# For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the 92# traditional xMT notation, e.g. `PMT' for Paris Mean Time. 93# The only name like this in current use is `GMT'. 94# If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English 95# translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers. 96# If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country 97# (e.g. ``Cape Verde Time''), then: 98# 99# When a country has a single or principal time zone region, 100# append `T' to the country's ISO code, e.g. `CVT' for 101# Cape Verde Time. For summer time append `ST'; 102# for double summer time append `DST'; etc. 103# When a country has multiple time zones, take the first three 104# letters of an English place name identifying each zone 105# and then append `T', `ST', etc. as before; 106# e.g. `MOSST' for MOScow Summer Time. 107# 108# 109# For Africa I invented the following time zone abbreviations. 110# LMT Local Mean Time 111# -1:00 AAT Atlantic Africa Time (no longer used) 112# 0:00 WAT West Africa Time 113# 1:00 CAT Central Africa Time 114# 2:00 SAT South Africa Time
