I am just wondering why there is 24:00 in the AT column for some countries (including Iran, Amman and Santiago) while there is 0:00 elsewhere.
Sometimes the legislation or other source says midnight at the end of the day, sometimes it says midnight at the start of the day. Using 0:00 or 24:00 lets us follow the source as closely as possible. In a few cases (e.g., "24:00 the last Saturday in March") it's not that easy to switch between 0 and 24, so we might use 24:00 even if the original source uses a more circumlocutory form with 00:00.
