Thanks for your feedback, Matt. I have added info about CEST and a link to time.is/CEST from time.is/CET. I prefer to avoid the abbreviation CEST, since S refers to Summer in some abbreviations and Standard in other. I know that many time zone names and abbreviations are inventions of the time zone mailing list, and that some are ambiguous, and I'm not looking to open another discussion about that. My concern at the moment is rather about CET, which is a widely used term. I was hoping there would be an official definition for such an established term. On 2015-10-24 0:29, Matt Johnson wrote:
Keep in mind that while EU countries are aligned, other locations may use CET/CEST but transition on alternate dates or times, and other locations may be on CET all year long.
That's another peculiarity. As far as I can see from the time zone source code, only Tunisia and Algeria (and previously Libya) fall into this category, and I suspect they have been miscategorized. I believe most Tunisians and Algerians would rather call their time zone West Africa Time. Are there any Tunisian or Algerian laws or directives binding their time zone to CET?
