It'd seem a bit odd to have a separate entry for each island in the group (or, in Sint Maarten's case, half-island!), considering they're all part of the Netherlands in one way or the other and they all share the same time zone history since 1970.

Of course if they are split up, remember that it seems to be the first act of any new government to change the daylight saving time rules. In which case, we'll have an entry for each of the new entities anyway. "At the back of the Daylight Saving scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves." - Robertson Davies -- 73 de ke9tv/2, Kevin KENNY GE Corporate Research & Development kennykb@crd.ge.com P.
