Possible changes for DST in Haiti are attached; for convenience they also appear below (with tabs mangled by Gmail).<br><br>(This is a case where even though right now the Rules cover just one year we're motiviated to use stuff such as "Sun>=8"<br>
to ease extension of the rules if appropriate in 2013.)<br><br> --ado<br><br>*** 8.53/northamerica 2012-03-11 14:46:13.257202300 -0400<br>--- 8.54/northamerica 2012-03-11 14:46:06.143589800 -0400<br>***************<br>
