OK, sorry, then I misunderstood the boundaries.  As far as I know,
though, the region was not controlled by China until after the Manchus
conquered it in 1759, so it was independent (or anarchic :-) for more
than just "brief periods".

Wow, that's quite a mouthful.  How about just "southwest Xinjiang"
instead?  That's shorter.

Sounds good; thanks.

Hmm, that can't be right: you've got Guangdong in two different zones.

How about something like this instead?  I'll try to see if I can come
up with a more complete list of provinces, but I don't want the
comments field to be so large that 'tzselect' produces confusing
output.
