The precidency of Nicaragua has emitted a decree 63-2006 about end of DST
which means that according to my time and that of Steffen Thorsen, the
change will occur an hour earlier at 1:00 (we had 2:00), but an hour later
according to the 2006l tz database, which has the change to occur 0:00 at
the moment.

RN-Cambio-Hora.pdf

My informal translation runs:

The natural sun time is restored in all the national territory, in that the
time is returned one hour at 01:00 am of October 1 of 2006.

This probably means that the rule should be split from

Rule	Nic	2005	2006	-	Oct	Sun>=1	0:00	0	S

to

Rule	Nic	2005	only	-	Oct	Sun>=1	0:00	0	S
Rule	Nic	2006	only	-	Oct	Sun>=1	1:00	0	S
