A user (Leonardo Chaim) reported that Argentina will adopt DST, and I
have found more details on Argentina's presidential web site, as well as
on many news sites.
Argentina will advance clocks by one hour on 2007-12-30 00:00 to (01:00)
and turn them back again on 2008-03-16 00:00 (to 23:00).
It appears that all of the country (all Zone-entries) are affected.
The official news report about it: (Spanish)
http://www.casarosada.gov.ar/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1509&Itemid=1
which has a link to the "Comunicado"/official notice:
http://www.casarosada.gov.ar/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1510
translated:
"The measurement will prevail in all the national territory as of the
00:00 hour of Sunday 30 of December of the present year, until the 00:00
hour of Sunday 16 of March of 2008, in that the clocks will have to
retard one hour as a result of the application of the winter schedule. "
News reports like

indicate that Argentina will use DST next year as well, from October to
March, although exact rules are not given.
