think for now simply aiming to reflect the creation of time zones back in 1884 should be a starting point?
The 1884 International Meridian Conference rejected the notion of creating time zones. They considered the existing schemes and other proposals and then limited themselves to choosing the Prime Meridian and the Universal Day measured from there. They explicitly left any other local or standard times to local jurisdictions. -- Steve Allen <sla@ucolick.org> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m
