+# From Milamber (2020-05-31)
+# In Morocco (where I live), the end of Ramadan (Arabic month) is followed by
+# the Eid al-Fitr, and concretely it's 1 or 2 day offs for the people (with
+# traditional visiting of family, big lunches/dinners, etc.). So for this
+# year the astronomical calculations don't include the following 2 days off in
+# the calc. These 2 days fall in a Sunday/Monday, so it's not acceptable by
+# people to have a time shift during these 2 days off. Perhaps you can modify
+# the (predicted) rules for next years: if the end of Ramadan is a (probable)
+# Friday or Saturday (and so the 2 days off are on a weekend), the next time
+# shift will be the next weekend.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2020-05-31):
+# For now, guess that in the future Morocco will fall back at 03:00
+# the last Sunday before Ramadan, and spring forward at 02:00 the
+# first Sunday after two days after Ramadan. To implement this,
+# transition dates and times for 2019 through 2087 were determined by

+# For the history of time in Shanghai between 1940-1942, the situation is

+# there were three different authorities in Shanghai, including Shanghai
+# International Settlement, a settlement established by western countries with

+# to the international settlement but is controlled by French, and then the
+# rest of the city of Shanghai, which have already been controlled by Japanese

+# additionally complicated by the circumstances that, according to the 1940s
+# Shanghai summer time essay cited in the database, some
+# departments/businesses/people in the Shanghai city itself during that time
+# period, refused to change their clock and instead only changed their opening
+# hours.
+#
+# For example, as quoted in the article, in 1940, other than the authority
+# itself, power, tram, bus companies, cinema, department stores, and other
+# public service organizations have all decided to follow the summer time and
+# spring forward the clock. On the other hand, the custom office refused to
+# spring forward the clock because of worry on mechanical wear to the physical
+# clock, postal office refused to spring forward because of disruption to
+# business and log-keeping, although they did changed their office hour to
+# match rest of the city. So is travel agents, and also weather
+# observatory. It is said both time standards had their own supporters in the
+# city at the time, those who prefer new time standard would have moved their
+# clock while those who prefer the old time standard would keep their clock
+# unchange, and there were different clocks that use different time standard
+# in the city at the time for people who use different time standard to adjust
+# their clock to their preferred time.
+#
+# a. For the 1940 May 31 spring forward, the essay claim that it was
+# coordinared between the international settlement authority and the French
+# concession authority and have gathered support from Hong Kong and Xiamen,
+# that it would spring forward an hour from May 31 "midnight", and the essay
+# claim "Hong Kong government implemented the spring forward in the same time
+# on the same date as Shanghai".
+#
+# b. For the 1940 fall back, it was said that they initially intended to do
+# so on September 30 00:59 at night, however they postponed it to October 12
+# after discussion with relevant parties. However schools restored to the
+# original schedule ten days earlier.
+#
+# c. For the 1941 spring forward, it is said to start from March 15
+# "following the previous year's method", and in addition to that the essay
+# cited an announcement in 1941 from the Wang regime which said the Special
+# City of Shanghai under Wang regime control will follow the DST rule set by
+# the Settlements, irrespective of the original DST plan announced by the Wang
+# regime for other area under its control(April 1 to September 30). (no idea
+# to situation before that announcement)
+#
+# d. For the 1941 fall back, it was said that the fall back would occurs at
+# the end of September (A newspaper headline cited by the essay, published on
+# October 1, 1941, have the headlines which said "French Concession would
+# rewind to the old clock this morning), but it ultimately didn't happen due
+# to disagreement between the international settlement authority and the
+# French concession authority, and the fall back ultimately occurred on
+# November 1.
+#
+# e. In 1941 December, Japan have officially started war with the United
+# States and the United Kingdom, and in Shanghai they have marched into the
+# international settlement, taken over its control
+#
+# f. For the 1942 spring forward, the essay said that the spring forward
+# started on January 31. It said this time the custom office and postal
+# department will also change their clocks, unlike before.
+#
+# g. The essay itself didn't cover any specific changes thereafter until the
+# end of the war, it quoted a November 1942 command from the government of the
+# Wang regime, which claim the daylight saving time applies year round during
+# the war. However, the essay ambiguously said the period is "February 1 to
+# September 30", which I don't really understand what is the meaning of such
+# period in the context of year round implementation here.. More researches
+# might be needed to show exactly what happened during that period of time.
+
+# From Phake Nick (2020-04-15):
+# According to a Japanese tour bus pamphlet in Nanjing area believed to be
+# from around year 1941: http://www.tt-museum.jp/tairiku_0280_nan1941.html ,
+# the schedule listed was in the format of Japanese time. Which indicate some
+# use of the Japanese time (instead of syncing by DST) might have occurred in
+# the Yangtze river delta area during that period of time although the scope
+# of such use will need to be investigated to determine.

+# British astronomer Henry Park Hollis disliked India Standard Time's offset:
+# "A new time system has been proposed for India, Further India, and Burmah.
+# The scheme suggested is that the times of the meridians 5½ and 6½ hours
+# east of Greenwich should be adopted in these territories. No reason is
+# given why hourly meridians five hours and six hours east should not be
+# chosen; a plan which would bring the time of India into harmony with
+# that of almost the whole of the civilised world."

+# 19th-century timekeeping in america. Stanford U Press (2000), 247 note 19.
+# "A more potent cause of resistance to the general adoption of the present
+# standard time lies in the fact that it is Madras time. The citizen of
+# Bombay, proud of being 'primus in Indis' and of Calcutta, equally proud of
+# his city being the Capital of India, and - for a part of the year - the Seat
+# of the Supreme Government, alike look down on Madras, and refuse to change
+# the time they are using, for that of what they regard as a benighted
+# Presidency; while Madras, having for long given the standard time to the
+# rest of India, would resist the adoption of any other Indian standard in its
+# place." -- Oldham RD. On Time in India: a suggestion for its improvement.
+# Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal (April 1899), 49-55.

+# "In 1870 ... Madras time - 'now used by the telegraph and regulated from the
+# only government observatory' - was suggested as a standard railway time,
+# first to be adopted on the Great Indian Peninsular Railway (GIPR)....

+# This lists +052110 as Madras local time used in railways, and says that on
+# 1906-01-01 railways and telegraphs in India switched to +0530. Some
+# municipalities retained their former time, and the time in Calcutta
+# continued to depend on whether you were at the railway station or at
+# government offices. Government time was at +055320 (according to Shanks) or
+# at +0554 (according to the Indian Year Book). Railway time is more
+# appropriate for our purposes, as it was better documented, it is what we do
+# elsewhere (e.g., Europe/London before 1880), and after 1906 it was
+# consistent in the region now identified by Asia/Kolkata. So, use railway
+# time for 1870-1941. Shanks is our only (and dubious) source for the

+# From Paul Eggert (2018-08-29):
# Time in Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Arabian peninsula was not
-# standardized until relatively recently; we don't know when, and possibly it
+# standardized until 1968 or so; we don't know exactly when, and possibly it
# has never been made official. Richard P Hunt, in "Islam city yielding to
# modern times", New York Times (1961-04-09), p 20, wrote that only airlines
# observed standard time, and that people in Jeddah mostly observed quasi-solar
# time, doing so by setting their watches at sunrise to 6 o'clock (or to 12
# o'clock for "Arab" time).
#
+# Timekeeping differed depending on who you were and which part of Saudi
+# Arabia you were in. In 1969, Elias Antar wrote that although a common
+# practice had been to set one's watch to 12:00 (i.e., midnight) at sunset -
+# which meant that the time on one side of a mountain could differ greatly from
+# the time on the other side - many foreigners set their watches to 6pm
+# instead, while airlines instead used UTC +03 (except in Dhahran, where they
+# used UTC +04), Aramco used UTC +03 with DST, and the Trans-Arabian Pipe Line
+# Company used Aramco time in eastern Saudi Arabia and airline time in western.
+# (The American Military Aid Advisory Group used plain UTC.) Antar writes,
+# "A man named Higgins, so the story goes, used to run a local power
+# station. One day, the whole thing became too much for Higgins and he
+# assembled his staff and laid down the law. 'I've had enough of this,' he
+# shrieked. 'It is now 12 o'clock Higgins Time, and from now on this station is
+# going to run on Higgins Time.' And so, until last year, it did." See:
+# Antar E. Dinner at When? Saudi Aramco World, 1969 March/April. 2-3.

-# From K Sethu (2006-04-25):

-# twice in 1996 and probably SL Government or its standardization
-# agencies never declared an abbreviation as a national standard.

-# I recollect before the recent change the government announcements

-# Time and no mention was made about the abbreviation.
-#
-# If we look at Sri Lanka Department of Government's "Official News
-# Website of Sri Lanka" ... http://www.news.lk/ we can see that they
-# use SLT as abbreviation in time stamp at the beginning of each news
-# item....
-#
-# Within Sri Lanka I think LKT is well known among computer users and
-# administrators. In my opinion SLT may not be a good choice because the
-# nation's largest telcom / internet operator Sri Lanka Telcom is well
-# known by that abbreviation - simply as SLT (there IP domains are
-# slt.lk and sltnet.lk).
-#
-# But if indeed our government has adopted SLT as standard abbreviation
-# (that we have not known so far) then it is better that it be used for

+# In January 1919 the occupying force issued a command that split the area

+# * In the next few years Japanese occupation of those islands have been

+# From Michael Deckers (2020-06-11):
+# the law of 1891
+# was published on 1891-03-15, so it could only take force on 1891-03-16.
+
+# From Michael Deckers (2020-06-10):
+# Le Gaulois, 1911-03-11, page 1/6, online at
+# https://www.retronews.fr/societe/echo-de-presse/2018/01/29/1911-change-lheure-de-paris
+# ... [ Instantly, all pressure driven clock dials halted... Nine minutes and
+# twenty-one seconds later the hands resumed their circular motion. ]
+# There are also precise reports about how the change was prepared in train
+# stations: all the publicly visible clocks stopped at midnight railway time
+# (or were covered), only the chief of service had a watch, labeled
+# "Heure ancienne", that he kept running until it reached 00:04:21, when
+# he announced "Heure nouvelle". See the "Le Petit Journal 1911-03-11".
+# https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k6192911/f1.item.zoom
+#
+# From Michael Deckers (2020-06-12):
+# That "all French clocks stopped" for 00:09:21 is a misreading of French
+# newspapers; this sort of adjustment applies only to certain
+# remote-controlled clocks ("pendules pneumatiques", of which there existed
+# perhaps a dozen in Paris, and which simply could not be set back remotely),
+# but not to all the clocks in all French towns and villages. For instance,
+# the following story in the "Courrier de Saône-et-Loire" 1911-03-11, page 2:
+# only works if legal time was stepped back (was not monotone): ...
+# [One can observe that children who had been born at midnight less 5
+# minutes and who had died at midnight of the old time, would turn out to
+# be dead before being born, time having been set back and having
+# suppressed 9 minutes and 25 seconds of their existence, that is, more
+# than they could spend.]
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2020-06-12):
+# French time in railway stations was legally five minutes behind civil time,
+# which explains why railway "old time" ran to 00:04:21 instead of to 00:09:21.
+# The law's text (which Michael Deckers noted is at
+# ) says only that
+# at 1911-03-11 00:00 legal time was that of Paris mean time delayed by
+# nine minutes and twenty-one seconds, and does not say how the
+# transition from Paris mean time was to occur.
+#
+# tzdb has no way to represent stopped clocks. As the railway practice
+# was to keep a watch running on "old time" to decide when to restart
+# the other clocks, this could be modeled as a transition for "old time" at
+# 00:09:21. However, since the law was ambiguous and clocks outside railway
+# stations were probably done haphazardly with the popular impression being
+# that the transition was done at 00:00 "old time", simply leave the time
+# blank; this causes zic to default to 00:00 "old time" which is good enough.
+# Do something similar for the 1891-03-16 transition. There are similar
+# problems in Algiers, Monaco and Tunis.
#
# Shank & Pottenger seem to use '24:00' ambiguously; resolve it with Whitman.

+# From Stephen Trainor (2019-05-06):
+# http://www.ac-ilsestante.it/MERIDIANE/ora_legale/ORA_LEGALE_ESTIVA_IN_ITALIA.htm
+# ... the [1866] law went into effect on 12 December 1866, rather than
+# the date of the decree (22 Sep 1866)
+# https://web.archive.org/web/20070824155341/http://www.iav.it/planetario/didastro/didastro/english.htm
+# ... "In Italy in 1866 there were 6 railway times (Torino, Verona, Firenze,
+# Roma, Napoli, Palermo). On that year it was decided to unify them, adopting
+# the average time of Rome (even if this city was not yet part of the
+# kingdom). On the 12th December 1866, on the starting of the winter time
+# table, it took effect in the railways, the post office and the telegraph,
+# not only for the internal service but also for the public.... Milano set
+# the public watches on the Rome time on the same day (12th December 1866),
+# Torino and Bologna on the 1st January 1867, Venezia the 1st May 1880 and the
+# last city was Cagliari in 1886."
+#
+# From Luigi Rosa (2019-05-07):
+# this is the scan of the decree:
+# http://www.radiomarconi.com/marconi/filopanti/1866c.jpg
+#
+# From Michael Deckers (2016-10-24):
+# http://www.ac-ilsestante.it/MERIDIANE/ora_legale quotes a law of 1893-08-10
+# ... [translated as] "The preceding dispositions will enter into
+# force at the instant at which, according to the time specified in
+# the 1st article, the 1st of November 1893 will begin...."
+#
+# From Pierpaolo Bernardi (2016-10-20):
+# The authoritative source for time in Italy is the national metrological
+# institute, which has a summary page of historical DST data at
+# http://www.inrim.it/res/tf/ora_legale_i.shtml
+# [now at http://oldsite.inrim.it/res/tf/ora_legale_i.shtml as of 2017]
+# (2016-10-24):
+# http://www.renzobaldini.it/le-ore-legali-in-italia/
+# has still different data for 1944. It divides Italy in two, as
+# there were effectively two governments at the time, north of Gothic
+# Line German controlled territory, official government RSI, and south
+# of the Gothic Line, controlled by allied armies.
+#
+# From Brian Inglis (2016-10-23):
+# Viceregal LEGISLATIVE DECREE. 14 September 1944, no. 219.
+# Restoration of Standard Time. (044U0219) (OJ 62 of 30.9.1944) ...
+# Given the R. law decreed on 1944-03-29, no. 92, by which standard time is
+# advanced to sixty minutes later starting at hour two on 1944-04-02; ...
+# Starting at hour three on the date 1944-09-17 standard time will be resumed.
+#
+# From Alois Triendl (2019-07-02):
+# I spent 6 Euros to buy two archive copies of Il Messaggero, a Roman paper,
+# for 1 and 2 April 1944. The edition of 2 April has this note: "Tonight at 2
+# am, put forward the clock by one hour. Remember that in the night between
+# today and Monday the 'ora legale' will come in force again." That makes it
+# clear that in Rome the change was on Monday, 3 April 1944 at 2 am.
+#
+# From Paul Eggert (2016-10-27):
+# Go with INRiM for DST rules, except as corrected by Inglis for 1944
+# for the Kingdom of Italy. This is consistent with Renzo Baldini.
+# Model Rome's occupation by using C-Eur rules from 1943-09-10
+# to 1944-06-04; although Rome was an open city during this period, it
+# was effectively controlled by Germany.

+# In the 1918 and 1919 fallback transitions in Spain, the clock for

+# On December 8 the governor exercised the option, setting the date to January 1

+# Despite the controversy, in 1949 California voters approved Proposition 12,

+# From Paul Eggert (2018-11-30):
+# A brief but entertaining history of time in Indiana describes a 1949 debate
+# in the Indiana House where city legislators (who favored "fast time")
+# tussled with farm legislators (who didn't) over a bill to outlaw DST:
+# "Lacking enough votes, the city faction tries to filibuster until time runs
+# out on the session at midnight, but rural champion Rep. Herbert Copeland,
+# R-Madison, leans over the gallery railing and forces the official clock
+# back to 9 p.m., breaking it in the process. The clock sticks on 9 as the
+# debate rages on into the night. The filibuster finally dies out and the
+# bill passes, while outside the chamber, clocks read 3:30 a.m. In the end,
+# it doesn't matter which side won. The law has no enforcement powers and
+# is simply ignored by fast-time communities."
+# How Indiana went from 'God's time' to split zones and daylight-saving.
