| al@18982 | 3 around the globe. It is updated periodically to reflect changes made by |
| al@18982 | 4 political bodies to time zone boundaries, UTC offsets, and daylight-saving |
| al@18982 | 5 rules. |

| al@18982 | 11 * give an idea of the variety of local time rules that have existed in the |
| al@18982 | 12 past and thus an idea of the variety that may be expected in the future; |
