proposed tz changes for US, Indiana, Australia, Tunisia, Nunavut, etc.

Here are proposed changes to the tz database that accumulate all the
changes that people have sent in recently, plus some other changes I
found.  I'm still having problems with tz at elsie.nci.nih.gov, so I'll
CC: this email to Arthur David Olson, just in case.

Changes affecting current and future time stamps.

 * The United States is extending DST starting 2007, unless it changes
   its mind.  (Thanks to Arthur David Olson for the revised Rule
   lines.)

 * The state of Indiana is adopting DST effective 2006.

 * Australia will extend DST to April 2, 2006 this year only, due
   to the Commonwealth Games.  (Thanks to David Grosz and Gwillim Law
   for this info.)

 * Tunisia is observing DST this year from May 1 00:00 to Sep 30 02:00.
   (Thanks to Risto Nykanen, Gwillim Law, and Oscar van Vlijmen for
   this info.)  We don't know about next year, so for now let's assume
   no DST.

 * Kazakhstan no longer observes DST, and has merged its three time
   zones into two.  (Thanks to Branislav Kojic and Gwillim Law for
   this info.)  We don't know exactly when the transition occurred;
   for now, assume March 15.

 * Kyrgyzstan has abolished DST, and from now on will stay at UTC+6
   (the former daylight saving time).

 * Nicaragua will switch back to standard time on September 18, not
   September 11.  (This is sheer guesswork on my part.)

 * Southampton Island, Nunavut does not observe DST, and (as far as we
   know) has not observed DST since World War II.  This requires a new
   Zone America/Coral_Harbour.  (Thanks to Gwillim Law for this info.)

 * In Argentina, the America/Argentina/ComodRivadavia zone was wrong:
   Chubut actually used the same transitions as Catamarca.  Fixing
   this removed the need for America/Argentina/ComodRivadavia (though
   it is retained in the "backward" file).

 * Change the abbreviation for East Timor Time from TPT to TLT, in
   response to ISO 3166's change to the abbreviation for East Timor.


Changes affecting historical time stamps.

 * King Island, Tasmania, did not observe DST until 1971.  This requires
   a new Zone Australia/Currie.

 * The transitions for Poland in 1946/1948 and 1988/1999 were a bit off.
   (Thanks to Przemyslaw Augustyniak for this info.)

 * Denmark adopted standard time on 1894-01-01, not 1894-04-01.
   (Thanks to Jesper Norgaard Welen for this info.)


Organizational changes

 * Remove the following Zone entries since they are identical to other
   Zone entries since 1970.  For backward compatibility, add links
   in the "backward" file so that the names still work.

     Africa/Timbuktu
     Europe/Belfast
     Pacific/Yap

 * Make America/Indiana/Indianapolis and America/Kentucky/Louisville the
   canonical names, with "backward" entries for America/Indianapolis
   and America/Louisville.

 * Remove an unused PRC Rule line.


Commentary changes

 * Update "Theory" to match latest POSIX spec, to give more examples
   (including the planned US change), to mention plans for
   64-bit time zone files, and mention the new edition of
   Reingold and Dershowitz.

 * Add commentary about the wildly conflicting info about Mongolia's
   time zones.

 * Add commentary about how Denmark adopted EU rules.
   (Thanks to Jesper Norgaard Welen for this info.)

 * Add commentary confirming Shanks over Whitman for Norway.

 * Add commentary about possibly-missing transitions in Nicaragua
   in 2000.  (Thanks to Gwillim Law for this info.)


Web page changes

 * Add references to Wikipedia for terms like "daylight saving" and
   "time zone".

 * Use Wikipedia for "POSIX" since PASC's explanation isn't as good.

 * Add pointers to:

    http://time.world-stay.com
    http://freshmeat.net/projects/intclock
    http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/dst_times.shtml
    http://met.no/met/met_lex/q_u/sommertid.html
    http://rom.usno.navy.mil/archives/leapsecs.html

 * Update some URLs that moved.

 * Remove pointer to Tim Berners-Lee's home page.  It was a bit nosy.

 * Mention the new xCal draft.

 * Note that the HyperCard stack is no longer maintained.

 # Denmark, Faeroe Islands, and Greenland
+
+# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2005-04-26):
+# http://www.hum.aau.dk/~poe/tid/tine/DanskTid.htm says that the law
+# [introducing standard time] was in effect from 1894-01-01....
+# The page http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A18930008330-REGL
+# confirms this, and states that the law was put forth 1893-03-29.
+#
+# The EU treaty with effect from 1973:
+# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A19722110030-REGL
+#
+# This provoked a new law from 1974 to make possible summer time changes
+# in subsequenet decrees with the law
+# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/A19740022330-REGL
+#
+# It seems however that no decree was set forward until 1980.  I have
+# not found any decree, but in another related law, the effecting DST
+# changes are stated explicitly to be from 1980-04-06 at 02:00 to
+# 1980-09-28 at 02:00.  If this is true, this differs slightly from
+# the EU rule in that DST runs to 02:00, not 03:00.  We don't know
+# when Denmark began using the EU rule correctly, but we have only
+# confirmation of the 1980-time, so I presume it was correct in 1981:
+# The law is about the management of the extra hour, concerning
+# working hours reported and effect on obligatory-rest rules (which
+# was suspended on that night):
+# http://www.retsinfo.dk/_GETDOCI_/ACCN/C19801120554-REGL
+
+# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2005-06-11):
+# The Herning Folkeblad (1980-09-26) reported that the night between
+# Saturday and Sunday the clock is set back from three to two.
+
+# From Paul Eggert (2005-06-11):
+# Hence the "02:00" of the 1980 law refers to standard time, not
+# wall-clock time, and so the EU rules were in effect in 1980.
