[tz] Conrad Maldives Rangali Island resort

[Steve Jones]

Documenting unofficial deviations from "official" time is a task so fraught
with guesses and shifting factors that it is a fools errand to try to turn
them into data.  I know, I'm a fool that tried to do it just for North
America, an exercise I documented here: http://ontimezone.com/exceptions.php
