Paul, Any particular reason this one-day deviation in 2014 is treated so differently from the similar one-day deviation in 2011? I don't have a strong opinion right now as to whether these are handled as new Turkey rules or as breaks from the EU rules, but I feel the two circumstances should at least be handled consistently, if only for clarity's sake. -- Tim Parenti On 18 February 2014 01:20, Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> wrote:
