I REALLY like the four-letter proposed designations. However, I suggest changing USXX to NAXX, since one set of abbreviations is shared by every North American country except Cuba. Also, I'd like to suggest simply appending a "+" to indicate daylight saving time/ summer time (e.g., NAET+). Hank W. Austin, Texas, U.S.A.

They would be good substitute acronyms to use. Thanks for the information. I'll add some information about this WIB/WIT confusion to the tango.info/wiki later today. ___________________ Regards, benny _____ From: Tobias Conradi <mail.2012@tobiasconradi.com> To: Benny <bknliem@yahoo.com> Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 1:49 PM Subject: Re: [tz] Fw: Asia/Jakarta timezone acronym is misleading [RECAP]

As for the English names, I propose they're changed into Western Time of Indonesia (WTI), Central Time of Indonesia (CTI), Eastern Time of Indonesia (CTI). Did you consider https://tango.info/wiki/Internationalized_time_point_unique_time_zone_abbrev iations ?

Which could be: IDWT IDCT IDET ? For comparison Australia: AUET AUCT AUWT United States: USET USCT USPT Europe: EUCT EUET EUWT -- Tobias Conradi Rheinsberger Str. 18 10115 Berlin Germany http://tobiasconradi.com
