Re: Macau use of PRC

In the asia file, there is a rule PRC defined which is used for quite a number of timezones: However, putting it to use in Macau seems superfluous since the PRC rule is inactive since 1991, and it is implemented for Macau only in december 1999:

It is superfluous now, but if the PRC ever reinstitutes DST it will almost certainly apply to Asia/Macau as well, so I suspect it's somewhat more likely to be less work in the future if we just leave things be now. I suspect Hong Kong would be similar as far as DST, but I've held off on touching Hong Kong since my vague impression is that "HKT" is still more popular than "CST" as an English-language abbreviation for the time in Hong Kong.
