The first thing I wonder about this is what implementation experience there is of including timezone specifications in the locale specification as this does? After all, when C9X revisions were being discussed it was insisted that any significant new features should be based on previous implementation experience!

The timezone stuff in 14652 is completly useless. The rules and everything are far more complicated then anything which can be expressed in the LC_TIME specification. I complained about this but since 14652 is now rejected I don't care that much anymore. All I will do (for glibc 2.2) is to allow the specification determine the name of the timezone and then the normal tzdata files are consulted for the real information. -- ---------------. drepper at gnu.org ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Cygnus Solutions `--' drepper at cygnus.com `------------------------
