FW: Japan's rules
I'm forwarding this message from Chris Holt, who is not on the time zone mailing list. Those of you who are on the time zone mailing list should direct replies appropriately. --ado From: Chris Holt [mailto:cholt@skywardinnovations.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 9:44 To: tz@lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Japan's rules It seems that Japan is missing its latest rule. The last rule it has is <Rule> <Name>Japan</Name> <From>1950</From> <To>1951</To> <Type>-</Type> <In>May</In> <On>Sun>=1</On> <At>2:00</At> <Save>1:00</Save> <Letter>D</Letter> </Rule> And the timezone is defined as: <Zone> <Name>Asia/Tokyo</Name> <GMTOffset>9:00</GMTOffset> <Rules>Japan</Rules> <Format>J%sT</Format> <Until /> <Comment /> </Zone> This forces the user to use JDT as the timezone abbreviation even though I believe they currently don't do daylight savings time. It seems this should be updated to: <Zone> <Name>Asia/Tokyo</Name> <GMTOffset>9:00</GMTOffset> <Rules>Japan</Rules> <Format>J%sT</Format> <Until>1951</Until> <Comment /> </Zone> <Zone> <Name>Asia/Tokyo</Name> <GMTOffset>9:00</GMTOffset> <Rules>-</Rules> <Format>JST</Format> <Until /> <Comment /> </Zone> Does this make sense?
