Fwd: Timezone for East Asian traditional calendar

For instance the time being used to calculate the lunar calendar for coastal China would be using Beijing Mean Solar Time during year 1914-1928, and then use GMT+8 starting from the year of 1929, ignoring a period of time during Japanese invasion where GMT+9-based calendar might have also been printed.

Information like that would be appropriate for the 'calendar' file, so I suggest proposing a patch for that file. Thanks for all your work in nailing this down, by the way. It'll take me a bit of time to digest the China and Korea data into a specific patch, and most likely that will have to wait until after the next (somewhat urgent) patch because of Morocco. But I do plan to get to it.
