(I sent this a week ago but it seems to have been lost.)
I noticed this recent addition to the database:
|Zone America/Sitka -14:58:47 - LMT 1867 Oct 18
| -9:01:13 - LMT 1900 Aug 20 12:00
| -8:00 - PST 1942
...
For local mean time to jump by 5.6 hours, implying that the city jumped
89 degrees to the east, would be a neat trick. Obviously the first offset
is meant to be +14:58:47, and the city jumped by 24 hours or 360 degrees,
crossing the IDL.
