Whoops. Samoa's on DST right now, so both of these changes happen at the same time and will be from UTC-10:00 to UTC+14:00. (The only difference is that Samoa will later go back an hour to UTC+13:00.)<div><br></div><div>
Apologies for not checking everything and making things less clear when I meant to do the opposite. A proposed diff is attached.<br><div><br clear="all">--<br>Tim Parenti<br><br>

A correspondent informed me that Tokelau, like Samoa, will be skipping<br>
December 31 this year, thereby changing its time zone from UTC-10 to<br>
UTC+14. When I tried to verify this statement, I found a confirming<br>
article in Time magazine online<br>
(<a href="http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2103243,00.html" target="_blank">http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2103243,00.html</a>). The<br>
Wikipedia article on Tokelau also mentions the change. To the best of<br>
my knowledge, this hasn't been reported to the tz list yet.<br></blockquote></div></div><div><br><br>Information from the BBC to the same effect:<br><br><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16351377" target="_blank">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16351377</a><span><font color="#888888"><br>
