Do you think the need reported for a zone for HM during the last hours is not real?
Yes, that's correct. Thanks for the confirmation.
We haven't seen any need from permanent residents of Heard Island and McDonald Islands, or any real data about such residents. And needs that don't come from permanent residents are not real?
If two ships enter territorial waters of HM would the Olson-Eggert-IANA time zone database give them advice for how to set their clocks? tzcode2012b/Theory says: ----- Scope of the tz database ----- The tz database attempts to record the history and predicted future of all computer-based clocks that track civil time. Not recording the offsets for HM ridicules the first sentence of the Scope section. -- Tobias Conradi Rheinsberger Str. 18 10115 Berlin Germany http://tobiasconradi.com/
