Hello!
Currently the rules for Palestine are:
Rule Palestine 2010 max - Mar lastSat 0:01 1:00 S
Rule Palestine 2009 max - Sep Fri>=1 2:00 0 -
Rule Palestine 2010 only - Aug 11 0:00 0 -
The first line is fine, this is the start-date and says it's in effect from 2010 going forward.
The last two lines appear to overlap. The second line says the end-date is the first Friday in Sept starting in 2009 going forward (including 2010). The last line says in 2010 the end-date is Aug 11. I do see that Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-07-20)pointed out the "Clocks to go back during Ramadan--and then forward again"
I believe this Aug 11 end-date is a one-time exception. So, does the following make sense, to avoid the overlapping rules for the end date?
Rule Palestine 2010 max - Mar lastSat 0:01 1:00 S
Rule Palestine 2009 only - Sep Fri>=1 2:00 0 -
Rule Palestine 2010 only - Aug 11 0:00 0 -
Rule Palestine 2011 max - Sep Fri>=1 2:00 0 -
Would this not be more acceptable? I have yet to encounter any overlapping of rules previous to this one. Am I missing something?
Thank you for your time!
