-# TAGHVEEM (1993-07-12)
-# </a>
-# writes ``Daylight saving time in Iran starts from the first day
-# of Farvardin and ends the first day of Mehr.'' This disagrees with the SSIM:
-#
-# DST start DST end

-#
-# Go with Alavi starting with 1992.
-# I used Ed Reingold's cal-persia in GNU Emacs 19.34 to compute Persian dates.
+
+# From Roozbeh Pournader (2003-03-15):
+# This is an English translation of what I just found (originally in Persian).
+# The Gregorian dates in brackets are mine:
+#
+# Official Newspaper No. 13548-1370/6/25 [1991-09-16]
+# No. 16760/T233 H 1370/6/10 [1991-09-01]
+#
+# The Rule About Change of the Official Time of the Country
+#
+# The Board of Ministers, in the meeting dated 1370/5/23 [1991-08-14],
+# based on the suggestion number 2221/D dated 1370/4/22 [1991-07-13]
+# of the Country's Organization for Official and Employment Affairs,
+# and referring to the law for equating the working hours of workers
+# and officers in the whole country dated 1359/4/23 [1980-07-14], and
+# for synchronizing the official times of the country, agreed that:
+#
+# The official time of the country will should move forward one hour
+# at the 24[:00] hours of the first day of Farvardin and should return
+# to its previous state at the 24[:00] hours of the 30th day of
+# Shahrivar.
+#
+# First Deputy to the President - Hassan Habibi
+#
+# From personal experience, that agrees with what has been followed
+# for at least the last 5 years. Before that, for a few years, the
+# date used was the first Thursday night of Farvardin and the last
+# Thursday night of Shahrivar, but I can't give exact dates....
+# I have also changed the abbreviations to what is considered correct
+# here in Iran, IRST for regular time and IRDT for daylight saving time.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2003-03-15)
+# Go with Shanks before September 1991, and with Pournader thereafter.
+# I used Ed Reingold's cal-persia in GNU Emacs 21.2 to check Persian dates.
# The Persian calendar is based on the sun, and dates after around 2050
# are approximate; stop after 2037 when 32-bit time_t's overflow.

+# The proposed date to Daylight Savings Time is September 13, 2002 instead
+# of the current date: October 7, 2002. The hour of changeover has not
+# yet been decided.
+#
+# (2002-07-10):
+# 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.
+#
+# (2002-07-25):
+# Thanks go to Yitschak Goldberg from E&M for bringing this (Hebrew) article
+# to my attention:
+#
+# http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-2019315,00.html
+#
+# Hence, the proposal to shorten DST was withdrawn yesterday and the timezone
+# files that have been in effect since July 2000 are still valid for all of
+# 2002.
+#
+# Please note that the article mentions that the Shas MK's intend to
+# bring up their amendment for future years (2003 and beyond). What this
+# means exactly is anyone's guess since there are no set dates yet beyond
+# 2004 and the end day set for 2003 and 2004 is already the 7th of Tishrei
+# (i.e. before the fast of Yom Kippur). The only thing they may want to
+# change is the start date of DST in 2003 from Mar.28.03 (24th of Adar II)
+# to Apr.18.03 (16th of Nisan) so that the Passover Seder will take place
+# during Standard Time. The start date for 2004 is already Nisan 16th.

#
+# From Paul Eggert (2001-10-18):
+# German Iofis, ELSI, Almaty (2001-10-09) reports that Kazakhstan uses
+# RussiaAsia rules, instead of switching at 00:00 as the IATA has it.
+# Go with Shanks, who has them always using RussiaAsia rules.
+# Also go with the following claims of Shanks:
+#
+# - Kazakhstan did not observe DST in 1991.
+# - Qyzylorda switched from +5:00 to +6:00 on 1992-01-19 02:00.
+# - Oral switched from +5:00 to +4:00 in spring 1989.

# Naming and spelling is tricky in Mongolia.

# is good enough for our purposes.

+# From Rives McDow (2002-03-13):
+# I have been advised that Pakistan has decided to adopt dst on a
+# TRIAL basis for one year, starting 00:01 local time on April 7, 2002
+# and ending at 00:01 local time October 6, 2002. This is what I was
+# told, but I believe that the actual time of change may be 00:00; the
+# 00:01 was to make it clear which day it was on.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2002-03-15):
+# Jesper Norgaard found this URL:
+# http://www.pak.gov.pk/public/news/app/app06_dec.htm
+# (dated 2001-12-06) which says that the Cabinet adopted a scheme "to
+# advance the clocks by one hour on the night between the first
+# Saturday and Sunday of April and revert to the original position on
+# 15th October each year". This agrees with McDow's 04-07 at 00:00,
+# but disagrees about the October transition, and makes it sound like
+# it's not on a trial basis. Also, the "between the first Saturday
+# and Sunday of April" phrase, if taken literally, means that the
+# transition takes place at 00:00 on the first Sunday on or after 04-02.

+#
+# ISLAMABAD, March 6: Information and Media Development Minister Sheikh
+# Rashid Ahmed on Thursday said the cabinet had reversed a previous
+# decision to advance clocks by one hour in summer and put them back by
+# one hour in winter with the aim of saving light hours and energy.
+#
+# The minister told a news conference that the experiment had rather
+# shown 8 per cent higher consumption of electricity.
