Why are we doing "lastSun" (or lastSat) for one specific year in the past?
The last Sunday in Sept in 1992 was Sep 27. Why not just say so? It isn't going to change... It was partly to reduce the possibility of a typo, where the Zone line didn't match the Rule line. (That typo hit us anyway, alas, for a different reason.) More generally, the idea is to use "lastSun" when the legislation says "last Sunday", and to use "27" when it says "27". It's not a big deal either way.
