 #
-# I added so many Zone names that the old, mostly flat name space was unwieldy.
-# So I renamed the Zones to have the form AREA/LOCATION, where
-# AREA is the name of a continent or ocean, and
-# LOCATION is the name of a specific location within that region.
-# For example, the old zone name `Egypt' is now `Africa/Cairo'.
+# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
+# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
+# but Mark R V Murray <markm@iafrica.com> reports that
+# `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,
+# `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and
+# `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for
+# the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''.
+# He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference.
 #
-# Here are the general rules I used for choosing location names,
-# in decreasing order of importance:
+# To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
+# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
+# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
+# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
+# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
 #
-#	Use only valid Posix file names.  Use only Ascii letters, digits, `.',
-#		`-' and `_'.  Do not exceed 14 characters or start with `-'.
-#		E.g. prefer `Brunei' to `Bandar_Seri_Begawan'.
-#	Include at least one location per time zone rule set per country.
-#		One such location is enough.
-#	If all the clocks in a country's region have agreed since 1970,
-#		don't bother to include more than one location
-#		even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970.
-#		Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large.
-#	If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative;
-#		e.g. many cities are named San Jose and Georgetown, so
-#		prefer `Costa_Rica' to `San_Jose' and `Guyana' to `Georgetown'.
-#	Keep locations compact.  Use cities or small islands, not countries
-#		or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split
-#		locations into different time zones.  E.g. prefer `Paris'
-#		to `France', since France has had multiple time zones.
-#	Use traditional English spelling, e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Roma', and
-#		prefer `Athens' to the true name (which uses Greek letters).
-#		The Posix file name restrictions encourage this rule.
-#	Use the most populous among locations in a country's time zone,
-#		e.g. prefer `Shanghai' to `Beijing'.  Among locations with
-#		similar populations, pick the best-known location,
-#		e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Milan'.
-#	Use the singular form, e.g. prefer `Canary' to `Canaries'.
-#	Omit common suffixes like `_Islands' and `_City', unless that
-#		would lead to ambiguity.  E.g. prefer `Cayman' to
-#		`Cayman_Islands' and `Guatemala' to `Guatemala_City',
-#		but prefer `Mexico_City' to `Mexico' because the country
-#		of Mexico has several time zones.
-#	Use `_' to represent a space.
-#	Omit `.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer `St_Helena'
-#		to `St._Helena'.
+# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
+#	-1:00	WAT	West Africa Time (no longer used)
+#	 0:00	GMT	Greenwich Mean Time
+#	 2:00	CAT	Central Africa Time
+#	 2:00	SAST	South Africa Standard Time
+# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
+#	 1:00	WAT	West Africa Time
+# I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
+# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
+# until we get more information.
 #
-# For time zone abbreviations like `EST' I used the following rules,
-# in decreasing order of importance:
-#
-#	Use abbreviations that consist of 3 or more upper-case Ascii letters,
-#		except use "___" for locations while uninhabited.
-#		Posix.1 requires at least 3 characters, and the restriction to
-#		upper-case Ascii letters follows most traditions.
-#		Previous editions of this database also used characters like
-#		' ' and '?', but these characters have a special meaning to
-#		the shell and cause commands like
-#			set `date`
-#		to have unexpected effects.  In theory, the character set could
-#		be !%./@A-Z^_a-z{}, but these tables use only upper-case
-#		Ascii letters (and "___").
-#	Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers,
-#		e.g. `EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America.
-#		We assume that applications translate them to other languages
-#		as part of the normal localization process; for example,
-#		a French application might translate `EST' to `HNE'.
-#	For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the
-#		traditional xMT notation, e.g. `PMT' for Paris Mean Time.
-#		The only name like this in current use is `GMT'.
-#	If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English
-#		translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers.
-#		If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country
-#		(e.g. ``Cape Verde Time''), then:
-#
-#		When a country has a single or principal time zone region,
-#			append `T' to the country's ISO	code, e.g. `CVT' for
-#			Cape Verde Time.  For summer time append `ST';
-#			for double summer time append `DST'; etc.
-#		When a country has multiple time zones, take the first three
-#			letters of an English place name identifying each zone
-#			and then append `T', `ST', etc. as before;
-#			e.g. `MOSST' for MOScow Summer Time.
-#
-#
-# For Africa I invented the following time zone abbreviations.
-#		LMT	Local Mean Time
-#	-1:00	AAT	Atlantic Africa Time (no longer used)
-#	 0:00	WAT	West Africa Time
-#	 1:00	CAT	Central Africa Time
-#	 2:00	SAT	South Africa Time
+# I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
+#	 2:00	WAST	West Africa Summer Time
+#	 2:30	BEAT	British East Africa Time (no longer used)
+#	 2:45	BEAUT	British East Africa Unified Time (no longer used)
+#	 3:00	CAST	Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
+#	 3:00	SAST	South Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
 #	 3:00	EAT	East Africa Time
-# The final `T' is replaced by `ST' for summer time, e.g. `SAST'.
-# BEAT is British East Africa Time, which was 2:30 before 1948 and 2:45 after.

-# Caveat emptor: The dates for the years 1996-1998 were originally announced
-# on 1995-08-31, by the previous Minister of Interior.  The new Minister
-# of Interior changed the dates on 1996-01-01, to take into account the
-# desires of certain portions of Israeli society (the next election is in the
-# Fall of 1996).  After this (1996) year's Daylight Savings Time is over, the
-# new minister has announced that a study will be conducted as to the wishes of
-# the populace regarding the length of Daylight Savings Time and the Interior
-# Committee will meet to review the results of the study and make any necessary
-# changes to the 1997-1998 dates.  Never a dull moment in the State of Israel.
+# The dates for 1997 were altered by his successor, Rabbi Eli Suissa.
+# No changes have been made regarding 1998 as of yet.
