Thanks to Steffen Thorsen for the heads-up, in
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-February/018623.html>.
* antarctica (ChileAQ):
* southamerica (Chile):
Assume the 2012 rules will continue indefinitely.  Suggested by Robert
Elz in <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2013-February/018636.html>.

+# According to several news sources, Chile has extended DST this year,
+# they will end DST later and start DST earlier than planned.  They
+# hope to save energy.  The new end date is 2013-04-28 00:00 and new
+# start date is 2013-09-08 00:00....
