The last hurdle of Argentina DST is over, the proposal was approved in the lower chamber too (Deputados) with a vote 192 for and 2 against. By the way thanks to Mariano Absatz and Daniel Mario Vega for the link to the original scanned proposal, where the dates and the zero hours are clear and unambiguous. I should have tried the Send/Receive button first before complaining to the tz mailing list!

http://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/nota.asp?nota_id=973996 Just came back from dinner and was about to post this same article :-)
Here's another one: http://www.clarin.com/diario/2007/12/26/um/m-01571929.htm At 3AM Argentina Time (6AM UTC), the Buenos Aires Herald's page is supposed to be updated and you'll be able to find something in English regarding this at http://www.buenosairesherald.com/ The only missing step is the "promulgation" (or however this is said in English) of the Law, but since that is within the power of the Executive, it should happen between Thursday and Friday so I think it is quite safe to update tzdata.

For the record, the law has been published today in the "Boletín Oficial". This is the last administrative step. Tomorrow (Sat 29-Dec) the law is legally in effect The text of the law is the same as the one we talk before (except for some non-relevant minor changes). The link to the PDF of the Boletin page is here (I suspect this URL is available only today): http://www.boletinoficial.gov.ar/Bora.Portal/CustomControls/PdfContent.aspx?... Happy new year.
