# Omit `.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer `St_Helena'
# to `St._Helena'.
#
-# We typically use traditional English time zone abbreviations,
-# and assume that applications translate them to other languages
-# as part of the normal localization process.
+# For time zone abbreviations like `EST' I used the following rules,
+# in decreasing order of importance:
+#
+# Use abbreviations that consist of 3 or more upper-case Ascii letters,
+# except use "___" for locations while uninhabited.
+# Posix.1 requires at least 3 characters, and the restriction to
+# upper-case Ascii letters follows most traditions.
+# Previous editions of this database also used characters like
+# ' ' and '?', but these characters have a special meaning to
+# the shell and cause commands like
+# set `date`
+# to have unexpected effects. In theory, the character set could
+# be !%./@A-Z^_a-z{}, but these tables use only upper-case
+# Ascii letters (and "___").
+# Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers,
+# e.g. `EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America.
+# We assume that applications translate them to other languages
+# as part of the normal localization process; for example,
+# a French application might translate `EST' to `HNE'.
+# For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the
+# traditional xMT notation, e.g. `PMT' for Paris Mean Time.
+# The only name like this in current use is `GMT'.
+# If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English
+# translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers.
+# If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country
+# (e.g. ``Cape Verde Time''), then:
+#
+# When a country has a single or principal time zone region,
+# append `T' to the country's ISO code, e.g. `CVT' for
+# Cape Verde Time. For summer time append `ST';
+# for double summer time append `DST'; etc.
+# When a country has multiple time zones, take the first three
+# letters of an English place name identifying each zone
+# and then append `T', `ST', etc. as before;
+# e.g. `MOSST' for MOScow Summer Time.

+#
+# From Chris Carrier <72157.3334@CompuServe.COM> (1996-06-27):
+# Siple, the first commander of the South Pole station,
+# stated that he would have liked to have kept GMT at the station,
+# but that he found it more convenient to keep GMT+12
+# as supplies for the station were coming from McMurdo Sound,
+# which was on GMT+12 because New Zealand was on GMT+12 all year
+# at that time (1957). (Source: Siple's book 90 degrees SOUTH.)
+#
+# From Susan Smith <URL:http://www.cybertours.com/whs/pole10.html>
+# (1995-11-13 16:24:56 +1300): We use the same time as McMurdo does.
+# And they use the same time as Christchurch, NZ does....
+# One last quirk about South Pole time.
+# All the electric clocks are usually wrong.
+# Something about the generators running at 60.1hertz or something
+# makes all of the clocks run fast. So every couple of days,
+# we have to go around and set them back 5 minutes or so.
+# Maybe if we let them run fast all of the time, we'd get to leave here sooner!!

+# From: msb@sq.com (Mark Brader) <URL:news:1996Jul6.012937.29190@sq.com>:
+#
+# In 1700, Denmark made the transition from Julian to Gregorian. Sweden
+# decided to *start* a transition in 1700 as well, but rather than have one of
+# those unsightly calendar gaps :-), they simply decreed that the next leap
+# year after 1696 would be in 1744 -- putting the whole country on a calendar
+# different from both Julian and Gregorian for a period of 40 years.
+#
+# However, in 1704 something went wrong and the plan was not carried through;
+# they did, after all, have a leap year that year. And one in 1708. In 1712
+# they gave it up and went back to Julian, putting 30 days in February that
+# year!...
+#
+# Then in 1753, Sweden made the transition to Gregorian in the usual manner,
+# getting there only 13 years behind the original schedule.
+#
+# (A previous posting of this story was challenged, and Swedish readers
+# produced the following references to support it: "Tiderakning och historia"
+# by Natanael Beckman (1924) and "Tid, en bok om tiderakning och
+# kalendervasen" by Lars-Olof Lode'n (no date was given).)
