From: "srdjan krajnalic" In this case the problem is that the RULE NAME is "1:00" which is not typical. Typically, names are something like GB-Eire or C-Eur. So my problem is that I'm not sure what to do with what appears to be extra or invalid data.
The problem is not unique. There are many such instances in all data files, where a rule name appears to be a time offset. My theory: probably a relic from a conversion process trying to convert space (runs) into tabs. In several cases a tab didn't get in so a space remained and in other cases an empty field was deleted.
