Conformance to the style manual of the printing office of the federal government of the nation to which both Hawaii and part of the Aleutian Islands belong?
HAST/HADT are in the CLDR also: http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/27/by_type/timezones.north_america.html#1... http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/27/by_type/timezones.north_america.html#3...
As Paul said:
On the net I find lots of sources using "HAST" and lots using "HST" for standard time in the Aleutians. Many of the former sources seem to be influenced by the tz database, and to some extent that doesn't count.
