If calling it permanent summer time in the side note is the issue
It's more than that. It's that the whole notion of "forward time" is questionable. How so? Isn't it forward with respect to EET?
There's no need for a new notion that means "This location is one hour ahead of where it used to be, and this is a permanent change." Says Paul.
All one needs to say is "This location has changed time zones." This does not look like an abbreviation
Changing time zones is not that unusual. It happens reasonably often, and we've dealt with it before. But ever by using alphabetical order as a justification, as with the FET proposal "F comes after E"?
All dealings I see where abbreviation change was involved and generic meaning contained are: - xMT - mean time - xST - summer time - xDT - daylight saving time - xDST - double summer time -- Tobias Conradi Rheinsberger Str. 18 10115 Berlin Germany http://tobiasconradi.com/tobias_conradi
