Japan's rules

[Chris Holt]

It seems that Japan is missing its latest rule.  The last rule it has is

 

<Rule>

      <Name>Japan</Name>

      <From>1950</From>

      <To>1951</To>

      <Type>-</Type>

      <In>May</In>

      <On>Sun&gt;=1</On>

      <At>2:00</At>

      <Save>1:00</Save>

      <Letter>D</Letter>

    </Rule>

 

And the timezone is defined as:

 

<Zone>

      <Name>Asia/Tokyo</Name>

      <GMTOffset>9:00</GMTOffset>

      <Rules>Japan</Rules>

      <Format>J%sT</Format>

      <Until />

      <Comment />

</Zone>

 

This forces the user to use JDT as the timezone abbreviation even though I
believe they currently don't do daylight savings time.

It seems this should be updated to:

 

<Zone>

      <Name>Asia/Tokyo</Name>

      <GMTOffset>9:00</GMTOffset>

      <Rules>Japan</Rules>

      <Format>J%sT</Format>

      <Until>1951</Until>

      <Comment />

</Zone>

<Zone>

      <Name>Asia/Tokyo</Name>

      <GMTOffset>9:00</GMTOffset>

      <Rules>-</Rules>

      <Format>JST</Format>

      <Until />

      <Comment />

</Zone>

 

Does this make sense?

Thanks,
