Subject: Re: Proposed Shortening of Daylight Savings Time [Israel 2002]

A few days ago, this snippet passed my way, which I'm sure the
members of the tz list are already familiar with:
...
While today the Knesset passed the initial proposal to reduce DST
by some three weeks, a new compromise is being worked out between
Minister of Justice Meir Sheetrit and Minister of Interior Eli Yishai
to revert to standard time for a period of 48-96 _hours_ (sic) around
the Yom Kippur fast day (September 15-16) and then go *back* to DST
until the end of October.  The details of the proposal have yet to be
worked out, but the second and final readings of the bill have until
July 24 to pass.
That announcement prompted this reflection:

I've occasionally wondered how much the deployment of our
favorite tz package was slowed (back before it was as widespread
as it is now, that is) by a perception that it was overkill.
"Yes, there have been some historical quirks with time zones and
DST in the past, and we used to be at the mercy of lawmakers who
didn't know better, but now that everyone knows what a bad idea
irregular times are, surely there won't be any more of them going
forward, so we can use a minimal, compiled-in table of the
historical quirks, and avoid all of these dynamically-loaded
tables and associated overhead."

If the 48-96 hour version of the Israeli bill passes, I'm
thinking that Arthur David Olsen ought to get the Turing Award.

The proposal did not make it to the Knesset in time for its summer recess
(starting today).  Since the recess is over at the beginning of October,
in order to end DST before September 16, a special session of the Knesset
Committee (where the proposal is currently stuck), the Interior Ministry
Committee (the next stage) and the Knesset itself would be required to
change the end date for 2002.  However, the office in the Interior Ministry
that deals with DST says that this is probably what is going to happen.

Meanwhile, the end date for the 2002 DST remains 1 a.m., October 7, 2002.
