Oscar van Vlijmen noted some discrepancies between your excellent web page <http://www.dstc.qut.edu.au/DST/marg/daylight.html> on Australian daylight saving time and the public domain time zone ("tz") database maintained by Olson et al (please see <http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm> for details). Can you please let me know any thoughts you might have about these discrepancies? * Your web page says `Next year, daylight saving will start much earlier in NSW and Victoria'. This is also true of Tasmania and ACT; e.g. see <http://www.sacentral.sa.gov.au/information/daylite.htm>. * Your web page implies (but does not explicitly say) that Lord Howe Island will start DST early this year for the Olympics, at the same time as the rest of NSW. Is this true? If so, the tz database needs to be updated. * Your web page says `Macquarie Island ... changes over to daylight saving time when Tasmania does'. But The Australian Bureau of Meteorology FAQ <http://www.bom.gov.au/faq/faqgen.htm> writes `Macquarie Island follows Tasmanian practice irrespective of any local use of DST.' (I'm not sure what they mean, but they use different wording for Giles and Lord Howe Island.) * While we're on the subject, that same web page says that Giles Meteorological Station uses South Australian time even though it's located in Western Australia. * Your web page gives time zones for Heard and McDonald islands. I assume that this is for when they have visitors? I'm under the impression that they have no permanent human inhabitants. I bring this up because the tz database omits locations that are not permanently inhabited, to keep things manageable; but if Heard and McDonald are permanently inhabited we need to create an entry for that location.
