+# European-style abbreviations are commonly used along the Mediterranean.
+# For sub-Saharan Africa abbreviations were less standardized.
# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
-# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
-# but Mark R V Murray 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

+# 'WAT' is probably the best name for +01, 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.
-#
-# 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.
-#
-# 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.
+#
+# To summarize, the following abbreviations seemed to have some currency:

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

# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
#
-# Gwillim Law writes that a good source
-# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
+# Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source
+# for time zone data was the International Air Transport
# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
# of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted,

-# Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and
-# ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote
-# suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST).
-# I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome
-# _daylight-saving time_. _Summer time_ seems to be in general use
-# in Europe and South America.
-# -- E O Cutler, _New York Times_ (1937-02-14), quoted in
-# H L Mencken, _The American Language: Supplement I_ (1960), p 466
-#
-# Earlier editions of these tables also used the North American style
-# for time zones in Brazil, but this was incorrect, as Brazilians say
-# "summer time". Reinaldo Goulart, a São Paulo businessman active in
-# the railroad sector, writes (1999-07-06):
-# The subject of time zones is currently a matter of discussion/debate in
-# Brazil. Let's say that "the Brasília time" is considered the
-# "official time" because Brasília is the capital city.
-# The other three time zones are called "Brasília time "minus one" or
-# "plus one" or "plus two". As far as I know there is no such
-# name/designation as "Eastern Time" or "Central Time".
-# So I invented the following (English-language) abbreviations for now.
-# Corrections are welcome!
-# std dst
-# -2:00 FNT FNST Fernando de Noronha
-# -3:00 BRT BRST Brasília
-# -4:00 AMT AMST Amazon
-# -5:00 ACT ACST Acre
+# These tables use numeric abbreviations like -03 and -0330 for
+# integer hour and minute UTC offsets. Although earlier editions used
+# alphabetic time zone abbreviations, these abbreviations were
+# invented and did not reflect common practice.

# So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
# America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
-#
-# I'm enclosing a patch that does what I say... regretfully, the San Luis
-# timezone must be called "WART/WARST" even when most of the time (like,
-# right now) WARST == ART... that is, since last Sunday, all the country
-# is using UTC-3, but in my patch, San Luis calls it "WARST" and the rest
-# of the country calls it "ART".

The files named Africa.txt, etc, are not intended to be used directly as
time zone abbreviation files. They contain reference definitions of time zone
abbreviations that can be copied into a custom abbreviation file as needed.
-Note that these files (*.txt) are already a subset of the IANA timezone
-database files: we tried to list only those time zone abbreviations that
-(according to the IANA timezone database) appear to be still in use.
+These files contain most of the time zone abbreviations that were shown
+in the IANA timezone database circa 2010.
+
+However, it turns out that many of these abbreviations had simply been
+invented by the IANA timezone group, and do not have currency in real-world
+use. The IANA group have changed their policy about that, and now prefer to
+use numeric UTC offsets whenever there's not an abbreviation with known
+real-world popularity. A lot of these abbreviations therefore no longer
+appear in the IANA data, and so are marked "obsolete" in these data files.
