[tz] New change in Mexico

[Deborah Goldsmith]

Does anyone know the geographical boundary between America/Ciudad_Juarez and America/Ojinaga? Is there some geographical feature like a river that demarcates the boundary between them? The law didn’t say anything about that; it just lists municipalities. Do these municipalities abut each other so we can use those boundaries?

Thanks,
Debbie

When we added America/Ojinaga in 2010, its commentary was "Ciudad Juárez y Ojinaga en Chihuahua" and I expect I didn't recognize that as Ciudad Juárez. More recently Mexican announcements have used phrases like "Juárez, Ojinaga, Ascensión, Coyame del Sotol, Guadalupe, Janos, Manuel Benavides y Práxedis G. Guerrero" and again, I expect I didn't recognize that as including Ciudad Juárez as opposed to one of the plain Juárezes which also exist in Mexico.
