Here's a proposed patch for the Western Australia change on Dec. 3.
It incorporates other minor changes I've been saving up.
Changes that affect near-future time stamps:
* Western Australia starts DST on December 3. (Thanks to
Jesper Norgaard Welen for the initial warning, and to Christopher Hunt
for letting us know it was official.)
This patch migrates the WA DST idiosyncracies into Rule lines,
where they probably belonged anyway. I realize the official
legislation specifies dates rather than "Mar lastSun", but we
commonly reverse-engineer the underlying rules in other situations
and might as well do so consistently here.
Changes affecting location data only:
* The coordinates for Jersey and Podgorica were off.
(Thanks to Andy McDonald for noting this.)
Changes affecting the web page only:
* Add references to FoxClocks <http://www.stemhaus.com/firefox/foxclocks/>
and to Time Zone <http://kimmo.suominen.com/sw/timezone/>.
