Xinjiang

[jrl]

Forgive me for coming in late - What exactly is the time frame for the
change... can we repost the projected change/addition?
--------------------
It looks as though Shanks placed it at LMT prior to 1928, 
5.5 for Kasgar and 6 for Urumchi through 1940 
and 5 for Kashgar beginning in 1940 with Urumchi remaining at 6 through
April, 1980 when both became synchronized.  

Something in the notes suggests a 1/3 hour difference that I may have
missed.

Given the note about how "putting ethnic labels on the time zones may be
somewhat divisive in an already very unhappy and divisive time," can
someone come up with a better approach to the Xinjiang situation than
the "first pass" sent out on the list last month? I'll hold off on
making any changes until we have something better.
