I'd like to clarify which year should be compared in from/to fields for
rules (and zone lines). It seems reasonable that the AT field determines
which year is to be compared (wallclock, utc or standard) -- is that
correct?
To give specific example:
Rule Test 1999 only - Jan 1 0:00 2:00 -
Rule Test 2000 only - Jan 1 0:00 0:00 -
These are both wallclock rules, and suppose they are used in a region
that is GMT+5. Then at UTC 31-Dec-1999 17:00 the WC time will turn to
midnight....is that the point at which the clocks would be adjusted?
And if so, in the following example:
Rule Test 1999 only - Jan 1 0:00 2:00u -
Rule Test 2000 only - Jan 1 0:00 0:00u -
would the clocks adjust at UTC time 1-Jan-2000?
