proposed tz changes for Brazil DST, Asia/Gaza, tzfile.5, and comments

It's time to update tz, as the clocks in much of Brazil do not
currently agree with what tz claims. Here's a proposed patch that
address the following issues that have accumulated over time.
* Update the rules for Brazil's summer of 1997-1998, thanks to Daniel
C. Sobral <dcs at gns.com.br>. Now the Pope is getting into the
daylight-saving act!
* Change Asia/Gaza to use Jordan's DST rules starting in 1996, and
observe the Zion rules from 1940 through 1947, as suggested by Amos
Shapir <amos at nsof.co.il>.
* Mention size of reserved-for-future-use space in tzfile.5, as
suggested by Denis Excoffier <Denis.Excoffier at ens.fr>.
* The CIA no longer claims that Uzbekistan has two time zones, so remove
commentary dismissing that claim.
* Use comment headings that reflect the ISO country code table more
accurately for UK/Eire, Denmark, Faeroe, Greenland, Svalbard, Jan
Mayen, China, Taiwan, Korea (North and South), US minor outlying
islands, and French Southern & Antarctic Lands. This was suggested by
Dave Skinner <dave at kirdu.jpl.nasa.gov>. Palestine is still a special
case; it has no ISO country code but has its own section regardless,
as I expect it to get a country code eventually.
* Update and correct URLs, some of which have become outdated.
I still have two big tasks in my in-box: Law's data and Olson's
suggestion for automatically maintaining last-changed times; these
will have to wait until I get more free time.

# Palestine
+
+ # From Amos Shapir <amos at nsof.co.il> (1998-02-15):
+ #
+ # From 1917 until 1948-05-15, all of Palestine, including the parts now
+ # known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, was under British rule.
+ # Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too.
+ # (Though I find the name "Zion" rather inappropriate -- why not just call
+ # it "Israel" or "Palestine"?)
+ #
+ # The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948-05-15 until 1967-06-05
+ # (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956-11 till 1957-03, but no
+ # time zone was affected then). It was never formally annexed to Egypt,
+ # though.
+ #
+ # The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally
+ # annexed in 1950 as the West Bank (and the word "Trans" was dropped from
+ # the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the
+ # Trans-Jordan"). So the rules for Jordan for that time apply. Major
+ # towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and
+ # East Jerusalem.
+ #
+ # Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except
+ # for East Jerusalem). They were on Israel time since then; there might
+ # have been a Military Governor's order about time zones, but I'm not aware
+ # of any (such orders may have been issued semi-annually whenever summer
+ # time was in effect, but maybe the legal aspect of time was just neglected).
+ #
+ # The Palestinian Authority was established in 1993, and got hold of most
+ # towns in the West Bank and Gaza by 1995. I know that in order to
+ # demonstrate some manner of independence, they have been switching to
+ # summer time and back on a different schedule than Israel's, but I don't
+ # know when this was started, or what algorithm is used (most likely the
+ # Jordanian one).
+ #
+ # To summarize, the table should probably look something like that:
+ #
+ # Area \ when | 1918-1947 | 1948-1967 | 1967-1995 | 1996-
+ # ------------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------
+ # Israel | Zion | Zion | Zion | Zion
+ # West bank | Zion | Jordan | Zion | Jordan
+ # Gaza | Zion | Egypt | Zion | Jordan
+ #
+ # I guess more info may be available from the PA's web page (if/when they
+ # have one).
+
+ # From Paul Eggert (1998-02-25):
+ # Shanks writes that Gaza did not observe DST until 1957, but we'll go
+ # with Shapir and assume that it observed DST from 1940 through 1947,
+ # and that it used Jordanian rules starting in 1996.
+ # We don't yet need a separate entry for the West Bank, since
+ # the only differences between it and Gaza that we know about
+ # occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
+ # However, as we get more information, we may need to add entries
+ # for parts of the West Bank as they transitioned from Israel's rules
+ # to Palestine's rules. If you have more info about this, please
+ # send it to tz at elsie.nci.nih.gov for incorporation into future editions.
+
# These rules for Egypt are stolen from the `africa' file.
