the executive summary:

	antarctica	Remove unused "RussAQ" rules.
	asia		Add comment on retaining "old" Russia rules
			for the benefit of Armenia
	europe		Russia abandons DST in 2011
			(thanks to Alexander Krivenyshev)
			("old" Russia rules retained for now for Belarus)
	iso3166.tab	Change AN (Netherlands Antilles) to CW (Curacao)
	zone.tab	Change AN (Netherlands Antilles) to CW (Curacao)
