One proposal that Arthur, Paul, and I had kicked around a little (very little) off list that might affect things there, was to abandon attempts to invent new time zone abbreviations for places that don't have one already in use, and instead just insert LST as a place holder (Local Standard/Summer Time).
I was just re-reading the Theory file, and this already addresses the point: | 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. `VLAST' for VLAdivostok Summer Time. So the Belarus case should be BYT. -- Clive D.W. Feather | If you lie to the compiler, Email: clive@davros.org | it will get its revenge.
