== Problem == Jerusalem is internationally not recognized as part of Israel. Using Jerusalem as reference location for Israel in the IANA time zone database may thus violate UN resolutions.
If I recall correctly the argument was to use population size. Regards, -sm

Are you proposing to delete Asia/Taipei by that same reasoning? In any case, I don't believe that the UN is part of the TZ process. paul

Since my proposal was not to delete an identifier - No. Also, Taiwan is listed in ISO 3166-1 http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes/iso-3166-1_decoding_tabl...
In any case, I don't believe that the UN is part of the TZ process.
ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/code/Theory Include at least one location per time zone rule set per country. One such location is enough. Use ISO 3166 (see the file iso3166.tab) to help decide whether something is a country. http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes.htm "The country names in ISO 3166 come from United Nations sources. New names and codes are added automatically when the United Nations publishes new names in either the Terminology Bulletin Country Names or in the Country and Region Codes for Statistical Use maintained by the United Nations Statistics Divisions." -- Tobias Conradi Rheinsberger Str. 18 10115 Berlin Germany http://tobiasconradi.com
