Ok then, should Asia/Taipei be listed with country code CN? Or not at all?
It seems to me the exact same reasoning that is being used here applies to
both cases.
Just to "piggy-back" on Paul's "case" here, let's look at this as a process-oriented detail ... Whenever one makes a suggestion for a change, _please_ also: A) State how it effects _more_ than just one (1) case -- aim for at least three (3) -- keep sigma in mind here B) Put down explicit sets of logic, that are completely objective and technical, and run all three-plus (3+) cases through it C) Evaluate if and how this will effect not only existing Zoneinfo history and approach, but what impacts it may have to code/files I think people here are _failing_ to recognize that this isn't about one (1) case, and it has multiple impacts to many other cases. So ... if there is a strong case to make a change in not just logic, but how Zoneinfo does things and goes forward in doing things -- including possible changes to Zoneinfo code and/or formats (hopefully not, but at least assumptions) -- then make it, and make it objectively doing A-B-C together. Just my $0.02, not speaking on-behalf of anyone else. -- Bryan J Smith - Professional, Technical Annoyance b.j.smith at ieee.org - http://www.linkedin.com/in/bjsmith
