The Arab world ( or should that be a religious designation? is it just 
Islamic? ) does still lie to rely on using observable events as the key 
points in their calendars? Which does not help when on some occasions 
that can result in a change happening a week earlier or later. In this 
case is the time of a 'predicted dawn' a more acceptable compromise 
where an actuate time is not included in the 'legislation'? In practice 
it's just when locals involved in over night activities actually change 
the clock that is left somewhat flexible by this 'decree'? It's saying 
'when you get up change your clock' ... rather than when the sun comes 
up ... although 'Salat al-fajr' first prayers of the day is designated 
'dawn, before sunrise' rather than a particular 'clock time' so to 
Palestinians dawn is an accurate event and will be indicated by the 
first call to prayers! But somewhat difficult to document prior to the 
event :)
