There's a proposed change to the "asia" file below to update Pakistan;
if no one sees problems with it, expect it in the ftp version this coming
Monday.
I'll hold off on updates to Palestine and Jordan until folks have had
a chance to weigh in on the question of whether to use 24:00 in the
rules (which would rile up pre-1998 versions of zic).
