     1.5 +that represent the history of local time for many representative locations
     1.6 +around the globe. It is updated periodically to reflect changes made by

    1.14 +  * give an idea of the variety of local time rules that have existed in the
    1.15 +    past and thus an idea of the variety that may be expected in the future;
