Yes the comment indeed continues -- it is craftmanship rather than science: doesn't use floating-point and has chattering documentation :) -- the section finally ends with * \note * So, DateTime \e cannot be correct at all * unless it is used for and in between dates and times * for which the used Timezone object offers real rules, * and calculates the date (and time) for a geographical location * for which the timezone is truly applicable (for the finally resulting date). It also said * Also, the "Europe/Berlin" timezone offers real rules starting at 1893-04-01 * (at the time of this writing). Ach, you see -- even more naivity back then! Today i know that the world didn't even exist before 1972. --steffen _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
