# keep America/Cordoba a single region rather than splitting it into the
# other 5 subregions.
+ # From Mariano Absatz (2009-03-13):
+ # Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis
+ # decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go
+ # to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October...
#
+ # The press release is at
+ # <a href="http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/SL/Paginas/NoticiaDetalle.asp?TemaId=1&InfoPrensaId=3102">
+ # http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/SL/Paginas/NoticiaDetalle.asp?TemaId=1&InfoPrensaId=3102
+ # </a>
+ # (I couldn't find the decree, but
+ # <a href="http://www.sanluis.gov.ar">
+ # www.sanluis.gov.ar
+ # <a/>
+ # is the official page for the Province Government).
+ #
+ # There's also a note in only one of the major national papers (La Nación) at
+ # <a href="http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1107912">
+ # http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1107912
+ # </a>
+ #
+ # The press release says:
+ # (...) anunció que el próximo domingo a las 00:00 los puntanos deberán
+ # atrasar una hora sus relojes.
+ #
+ # A partir de entonces, San Luis establecerá el huso horario propio de
+ # la Provincia. De esta manera, durante el periodo del calendario anual
+ # 2009, el cambio horario quedará comprendido entre las 00:00 del tercer
+ # domingo de marzo y las 24:00 del segundo sábado de octubre.
+ # Quick&dirty translation
+ # (...) announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis
+ # inhabitants) will have to turn back one hour their clocks
+ #
+ # Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus,
+ # during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday
+ # in March until 24:00 of the second Saturday in October.
+
+ # From Arthur David Olson (2009-03-16):
+ # The unofficial claim at
+ # <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/san-luis-new-time-zone.html">
+ # http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/san-luis-new-time-zone.html
+ # </a>
+ # is that "The province will most likely follow the next daylight saving schedule,
+ # which is planned for the second Sunday in October."
