+# This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,
+# go ahead and edit the file (and please send any changes to
+# tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for general use in the future).
+
+# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (November 18, 1993):
+#
+# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
+# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
+# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
+# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.
+#
+# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
+# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
+# I found in the UCLA library.
+#
+# 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'.
+#
+# Here are the general rules I used for choosing location names,
+# in decreasing order of importance:
+#
+#	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 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'.
+#
+# We typically use traditional English time zone abbreviations,
+# and assume that applications translate them to other languages
+# as part of the normal localization process.
+#
+# I made up the following time zone abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
+#		LMT	Local Mean Time
+#	-2:00	CVT	Cape Verde Time (no longer used)
+#	-1:00	AAT	Atlantic Africa Time
+#	 0:00	WAT	West Africa Time
+#	 1:00	CAT	Central Africa Time
+#	 2:00	SAT	South Africa Time
+#	 3:00	EAT	East Africa Time
+#	 4:00	SMT	Seychelles and Mascarene 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.
